I have a 1992 S13 hatch that did not come with a rear wiper and I was wondering if its possible to add one?

It's possible, but why? One more blade to spend money on, and even then, it isn't worth the money spent. Added weight, and in your case, more money than it's worth as you would be needing the hatch with everything attached, the washer nozzle, tank, tubing, wiring harness, switch, etc.

All three of mine have wipers, and their highly over rated. Rare that I use it.

I not trying to step on any toes but the thought of a rear wiper being a weight issue it just plain BS to me because it's only a couple pounds. My Sound system weights more than what this would add plus I removed those darn auto belts.

I'm just trying to build a nice street car and would like to be able to see clearly out my window when it rains I just figured if the spot on my hatch for the motor is clearly stamped out all I would have to do is drill a hole and install the parts and at the most the wires. Maybe this is a little to much work than its worth

Is there any easy way to do the wring to the hatch? I have a car equipped with a wiper stock and a wiperless hatch. the connectors are there for a wiper, but I doubt there would be an easy way to get the wires through the hatch next to the drefrost. Did you just like put your wires on the outside of the hatch metal and thn jam it under the cover?

I have mine off and the car looks quite a bit better aesthetically. cant see in the rain, though.
