Sure, I’m biased because I ordered a soft top without caring, but I’m a bit surprised at how much people appear to care about a rear wiper. Defrost seems more important but gets mentioned less. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it's the climate people live in. Ive only lived in New England but I guess rear defrost/fog is useless to some?

If I could only have 1 its the defrost for sure.

For me the rear wiper on windows like that are not very useful. On my Escape the spring is too weak to press the wiper arm against the glass. Couldn't tell you when it got like that because I literally never use it. It's been years now.

But I still use the defrost. For condensation and ice/snow.

Its is exasperating how I'll prepared Ford appears to have been. They should offer soft tops with rear wiper hook ups for free to all MIC hard top orders. I don't really want a soft top. I just want my Bronco before the apocalypse.

I know this is beating a dead horse but they just need to offer the 2 door with a soft top from the factory. I would gladly take that to see my bronco before I have kids and regret buying the 2 door

For me, a possible scenario was getting the soft top later. I originally planned on going dual tops... the hard top(and hookups) was vital!

I don’t need wiper hookups. Just give me a soft top option on a 2DR and I’d make the switch.
I have only had one vehicle in the last 30 years that had a rear windshield wiper. A 2007 Expedition. And it doesn't have a sqirter, just a blade (which is rotting in the sun because I have never used it either)

Only concern with a soft top is the one on my last Mustang was really noisy. Previous Mustang was fine.

I’d take without a top if wiring was all there and I hardtop could be delivered later at no/nominal charge. Don’t need the top until Nov.
