Too Afraid to Ask

Some cars have a small wiper on the back window so you can see out of the rear when it rains. It’s not common on older compact cars.

Technical Definition

A rear wiper is a windshield wiper located on the back of the car, used to clear rain or debris from the rear window for better visibility.
