Rain Sensor for REAR wiper.

Found this rather interesting item tonight:

Rain sensor control of rear wiper sweep...even uses factory parts (except for the control module).

Also has an optional reverse gear sensor to operate wiper when in reverse (if its raining and the wiper is on of course).

I have often wondered why VW didn't at least make the rear wiper variable intermittent (even using one of those old programmable ones like they had on Mk 3's etc).

I just emailed them. I'm such a gadget whore.

Looks very like the WAECO unit.

Couldn't you install any of the aftermarket rain-sensor kits to work with the rear wiper since it's a simple relay-driven motor?
