RE: Rear wiper range
Dennis,
I agree with your post in general that people should do their own due diligence but having bought many vehicles in my lifetime I would submit that it is virtually impossible to learn every detail and nuance from a test drive or two or three. And even though forums like this are a great tool for those seeking that kind of detailed info before they buy one, you still won't know if it really meets all your expectations until you spend a lot of seat time in one in various driving conditions.
bogy's post sounded like a sincere question to me and then when you posted your "rant" immediately following it's hard for someone not to take it personally no matter how many times you say "don't take it personally".... I do admire that being a moderator, you had the fortitude to step up and apologize as that happens far too infrequently these days and I hope bogy accepts it as well.
Fwiw, I didn't check the rear wiper coverage area before I bought it and found it a little odd when I had occasion to use it the first time.
You guys have a great forum here so keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Jim

I agree 100% with Dennis on this one.
But yes, I noticed it has a short stroke. I also noticed it's a small window, and doesn't need much to clear a viewpoint.

and fireman said SHORT STROKE
this is what the back window wiper is supposed to cover, anything less and you should have it checked. Sorry but if you need more than that maybe you should take a cab in the rain
