Options for rear wiper on a 2004 DK50C?

[KanakaRick]

Planning on getting a snowblower this year, and I want to keep the glass clean. The back windshield currently does not have a wiper (nor any holes for a wiper) and I was wondering what my options are?

I've found the rear wiper on my DK40SE to be mostly useless. It doesn't do a great job since there is a lack of warm air flow across it.

Between icing up and fogging, it's a bit of a pain.

I have a front mount blower so it's not a huge issue, but a rear mount in a strong wind would be frustrating.

In my case, I've wondered about getting a generic DIY rear window defroster kit.

The other option would be to install a fan to help push some air across the back window.

If you do find a way to install a wiper, you may need to look at some additional means of keeping the glass clear.
