Rear wiper mechanism.
Anyone have experience of the rear wiper mechanism ?
The wiper itself is not moving so I removed trim panel (and renewed all the broken clips etc using the Swedish kit while I was at it) The motor is showing signs of life and turning the male splined bar as required. The female splined part though is worn smooth so I've prised that off. It now sits on my desk and I'm unable to find that small 50mm kinked bar for sale anywhere on the 'net. Has anyone managed to source just this part without buying and replacing the entire mechanism ? Has anyone got a good one in their bits box ? |

That was my first thought, but they are almost always the entire assembly.
Its a tiny part that I need. |

It's likely that the shaft carrying the wiper has seized due to water working its way in from the outside and causing corrosion. This happened to the rear wiper on my V70. It is possible to remove the entire assembly, then dismantle it, clean it and relubricate. I think it was fairly obvious how it came apart. You've nothing to lose by trying.
I used a silicone grease and then some heatshrink to replace the plastic cover/shaft seal on the outside. To be honest, it was in a bit of a state because I'd ignored the wiper moving ever more slowly. Although mine didn't actually stop, it got so slow I had to do something about it. So far it's been OK.
