did mk1 mondeo saloons come with a rear wiper as standard ive just got a mk1 on an n reg that im breaking thats got one fitted hole in the glass etc motor mounted under parcel shelf never seen one before

 

Hello mate, no they didn't come as standard, i think they were an optional extra or on the higher spec models, a rear wiper is not really needed on the saloon. But like you said the mounting hole for it is in the actual glass hence the reason most people don't retro fit one as it means changing the rear screen to. They are pretty rare as not many had them. My mk1 saloon does not have a rear wiper.
What spec is the one you are breaking??

 

it was only a gl i think not much good on it to be honest

 

I've seen one on a Ghia...had an X next to the badge. Didn't think Mondeo's had an "X" pack, so whether it was an X pack or not I don't know.

 

You could get a Mondeo Ghia X in late MK1s and right through the MK2, as well as MK3 versions. Though the MK1 never had the badge on the boot I don't think, only the MK2 and 3.

Maybe he'd just stuck a random X on the back to make himself look posh!
