Hi All!

Anyone experienced the rear windshield wiper gets stuck? Then I mean completely stuck, totally impossible to turn it even slightly. Opened the glass tailgate to manually turn the wiper, but no, it is stuck!
Anyone knows how to loosen the shaft? Tried to tap with a hammer, but as it is mounted in glass, I tend to be careful...

Cheers,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik, my has to and I just sprayed with WD-40 and now it works fine. but first I tried to repair it and I didn't find nothing to fix it, the motor works fine, so just try some lubricant spray.

Case closed!
Finally, after contemplating for a few days, I took a plastic hammer and hit the bloody shaft harder! After a couple of hits, the shaft was out.
Then, cleaning everything, removing dirt (?) and assembled all washers and nuts again, the wiper works fine!

Well done!

If all else fails, employ violence. Or a larger hammer.
