rear wiper
 
my car was broken into, 3 windows smashed, including the rear window., they also managed to break the rear wiper. The spray nozzle is also broken, sheared off i think., so i thought i just needed a new wiper arm, but it now looks like i need the wiper assembly/motor. can anyone advise me.

First port of call would be the breakers. They do all eventually die due to poor design.
You can get aftermarket replacements for 50euro (and upward) or so, but I have not been able to check quality as they both arrived damaged due to idiotically poor packaging (and my original one is pretty far gone due to crevice corrosion, so also looking for a new one, my breakers rarely has a V70 and as said, all 10+ year old motors are likely damaged too unless you live in California...).

BTW, success with all repairs. Smashing in 3 windows doesn't sound like a break-in but just sheer vandalism.

the washer jet nozzle does actually "push in" so if you cant/don't get one with a replacement wiper motor, this should be cheap enough to buy new from dealer. ;)
