Pantograph rear wiper ?

[composimmonite]

Anyone know of a car with pantograph rear wiper mechanism that is easy to find secondhand / scrapyards ?

This will be for a microcar hence wanting a rear wiper as they are far lighter than windscreen items.

I know of no cars with a pantograph REAR wiper. Quite commonplace in small cars but only the front.

Cheers.
That is what I thought but no harm is asking in case somebody knows better. Suppose I can see if the pivot of a front system can be adapted to use a small rear motor.

I can't imagine a 107/C1/Aygo front motor being much heavier than the rear nowadays. Worth seeing if you can get your hands on one to see. I didn't mean to be unhelpful, just honest. It's not something I've ever seen beyond weird old aftermarket rear wipers for VW bay window vans but I can imagine finding one of those would be pretty hard.

Porsche 928 has a pantograph rear wiper and can be found very cheap second hand.....

I need to look that up. Not doubting. Just utterly curious as to how I've missed it.

Not sure you'd find one in a scrappy, but I recall my old Chevette estate had something similar.
