    Rear screen wipers on 911s

    Can anyone tell when they first started fitting the rear screen wipers on the 911S ?

    Thank you

    I'm pretty sure they had rear wipers very early. 64 or 65 or 66.
    So they had wipers before they even made the "S" version.
    I believe this to be a 1965 car in photo, which is a screenshot.

    I'm almost sure that everybody has already seen this article, but in doubt:

    When it comes to 928s, the nec plus ultra is to have one without rear wiper

    Porsche planned to introduce rear windshield wipers in October 1965. When they were first shipped is another matter.

    From an accessories price list dated September 1965 (MY 1966):

    Name: Brochure1.jpg Views: 363 Size: 84.7 KB

    9290 Heckscheibenwischer (ab Okt.-Planung 1965)
    Rear window wiper
    Essuje-glace de Ia lunette amere (a' partir d'Octobre-Planing 65)
    Tergicristallo per lunotto


    It's one of the few accessories in this list with no price shown. By the way, this price list also shows rubber pads on the bumpers and KONI shock absorbers as planned for October 1965.

    From an accessories brochure dated September 1965 (courtesy of the late Charlie White):
