REAR





The rear wiper blade is secured by an integral pivot pin (4) to the latch formations on the underside of the tip of the rear wiper arm, and rests near the top of the lift glass when the rear wiper system is not in operation. The rear wiper blade consists of the following components:

- Superstructure (3) - The superstructure includes a molded black plastic bridge and plastic links with claw formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also included in this unit is the molded plastic pivot pin that secures the superstructure to the wiper arm.
- Element (1) - The wiper element or squeegee is the resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that contacts the glass.
- Flexor (2) - 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 27.90 centimeters (10.98 inches) long with a replaceable element (squeegee). The wiper blade superstructure cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective, worn or damaged the entire wiper blade unit must be replaced.
