Rear Wiper

The rear wiper has been irritating me! Wink It has not been running flush with the window for a while & frequently jams in the upright position! After a bit of investigation it seems to relate to the amount of dirt that accumulates on the rear window and the solution is simple - a bit of WD40 on the hinge rivet + return spring (just keep a cloth behind when spraying it to catch any overspray), and then prise out the cap at the centre of the wiper mechanism & spray that as well - 5 mins work and it's fixed - but just another example of a minor design issue Wink

Ecosse, WD40 is only a short term result as it dries out. Try motorcycle chain spray grease very lightly in exactly the same way. Bet that works for a lot longer. By the way, did you know the rear tail gates both upper and lower are alluminium? I found out trying to stick a magnetic sticker onto it the other day Surprised .

It's much better than WD40

Had mine replaced ages ago for this very reason... standing proud of glass when dirty. Had it replaced and have not had a problem since.
