Rear Wiper Arm

First thing to look at would be the mounting of the rear window wiper arm also since it is easy to get to. There is a retaining nut on arm that at times may come loose and need to be tightened.  If the retaining nut is found secure the next step would be to replace the rear wiper motor assembly.

  1. Did you remember to disconnect the wiper arm? Try wiggling when pulling. May need to have someone tap the end of the wiper arm shaft with a rubber mallet while you are in the inside with your hands on the motor.
