REAR





The rear wiper blade is secured by an integral pivot pin (2) to the latch formations within the underside of the rear wiper arm, and rests off the glass on a park ramp on the liftgate near the base of the liftgate flip-up glass when the rear wiper system is not in operation. The rear wiper blade consists of the following components:

- Superstructure (1) - The superstructure includes a stamped steel bridge and links with claw formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also included in this unit is the pivot pin, which secures the superstructure to the wiper arm. All of the metal components of the wiper blade have a satin black finish applied.
- Element (4) - The wiper element or squeegee is the resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that contacts the glass.
- Flexor (3) - The flexor is a rigid metal component running along the length of each side of the wiper element where it is gripped by the claws of the superstructure.

The rear wiper blade is 30.45 centimeters (11.98 inches) long with a non-replaceable rubber element (squeegee). The wiper blade cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective, worn or damaged the entire wiper blade unit must be replaced.
