Re: Rear Wiper Motor

Could be dirt as well I guess but wondering if this is something someone else has had.

Thanks,

This is a very common problem. There are plastic gears in the wiper motor that end up stripped over time. The only fix is to replace the motor. The hatch panel is held on with the plastic retainers. The motor is very easy to change out. It should take less than 30 minutes.
