Anyone know of a car with pantograph rear wiper mechanism that is easy to find secondhand / scrapyards ?  This will be for a microcar hence wanting a rear wiper as they are far lighter than windscreen items. |

I know of no cars with a pantograph REAR wiper. Quite commonplace in small cars but only the front.

Worth seeing if you can get your hands on one to see. I didn't mean to be unhelpful, just honest. It's not something I've ever seen beyond weird old aftermarket rear wipers for VW bay window vans but I can imagine finding one of those would be pretty hard. |

Not sure you'd find one in a scrappy, but I recall my old Chevette estate had something similar.
