 It must have changed sometime after '88 then 'cos my '92 has the intermittant
 rear wiper function.
 One press forward of the stalk activates it with a spray of window washer
 fluid and a few quick passes of the arm,then it continues to wipe every
 5 secs or so untill you either push the stalk again or stop & switch off the
 ignition...
