GeckoWiper: Aftermarket Rear Window Wiper for a diversity of Cars

Cost Considerations for Car Manufacturers

Many car manufacturers face the challenge of balancing cost-cutting measures with customer safety and optical clean designs. One area where this is evident is the integration of rear wipers. While the technical requirements and customer preferences often favor the inclusion of rear wipers for improved visibility, some manufacturers choose to omit them to reduce production costs. This decision can lead to compromised safety, particularly in adverse weather conditions.

Why Manufacturers Avoid Rear Wiper Integration

  • Cost Savings: The integration of a rear wiper system can add significant costs to the manufacturing process, including additional components and labor.

  • Aesthetic Choices: Many modern car designs prioritize sleek lines and aesthetics, which can lead to the omission of functional features like rear wipers.

  • Market Trends: Some manufacturers may respond to market trends that favor design over functionality, believing that customers are willing to sacrifice practicality for style.

Customer Safety Concerns

Despite the cost-saving measures, customer feedback often highlights a strong desire for safety features that enhance visibility. The absence of a rear wiper can lead to dangerous driving conditions during rain or snow, underscoring the importance of having such functional features in vehicles.

Rear Vision Limitations in Adverse Weather Conditions

During low-speed driving, several factors can contribute to rear vision limitations, particularly when aerodynamics fail to effectively remove rain or snow from the rear window. These factors include:

  • Low Speed: At lower speeds, the vehicle's aerodynamic design is less effective at clearing water or snow from the rear window, leading to reduced visibility.

  • Parking Situations: When parking, the vehicle may be stationary or moving slowly, further exacerbating the issue of rear visibility.

  • Cross-Wind: Strong cross-winds can hinder the natural flow of air around the vehicle, preventing effective clearing of rain or snow from the rear window.

  • Inefficient Aerodynamics: Some vehicle designs may not optimize airflow around the rear window, resulting in water or snow accumulation.
