REAR





The rear wiper arm (2) is the rigid member located between the rear wiper motor output shaft that protrudes through a rubber nut cover near the upper left corner of the lift glass and the wiper blade on the outside of the glass. The wiper arm is constructed of molded black plastic. A hinged pivot end (1) is also molded plastic.

A molded black plastic nut cover (5) with two pivot pins on one end and a snap feature on the other fits over the wiper arm retaining nut to conceal the nut and mounting hole following wiper arm installation. The rear washer nozzle integral to the motor output shaft is aimed through a large hole (4) in the side of the nut cover oriented towards the downward path of the wiper blade. The wiper arm hinge and tension spring are concealed on the underside of the wide end of the arm, while integral latch features (3) concealed on the underside of the narrow end of the wiper arm accept the pivot pin of the matching molded plastic wiper blade unit.

The rear wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If damaged or ineffective, the entire wiper arm unit must be replaced.
