Rear wiper issues

It stopped working a few days ago and I can hear it whining when I try to turn it on. What's likely to be wrong with it?

Hello Alex,

Possibly/probably water ingress Alex. You wil obviously need to access it to check.

Please let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Yeah I probably will have a look at it tomorrow see if it's something I can sort easily before I refer it to my friendly local garage.

Thanks

Hi the gearbox inside the unit has nylon gears as Gareth said its water ingress which seizes the metal gearbox components and strips the nylon gears of their teeth, just buy a new unit they are cheap enough because you will only get away with re using the clips on the cover on the tailgate once as if you remove the trim twice they pop out and bend fairly easy job to do.
