I've retrofitted a wiper assembly into a hatch that didn't originally have
one.  I suppose switching the hatches might be easier, but if you could just
buy the wiper assy, installing it into the "wiperless" hatch isn't too bad a
job.  It helps if you have a hatch with a wiper in it to use as a guide
though.  You'll need to install a second rubber tube on the right side of the
hatch to contain the washer tube and a couple wires.

Good luck,
