Rear Wiper Arm: Description
The rear wiper arm (3) is the rigid member located between the rear wiper motor output shaft (1) that protrudes through the liftgate glass above the center of the liftgate glass opening and the wiper blade (4) on the outside of the glass. The wiper arm is constructed of molded black plastic. A hinged pivot end is also molded plastic.
A molded black plastic nut cover (2) with snap features on the back end and two pivot pins on the end nearest the wiper blade fits over the wiper arm pivot end to conceal the wiper arm retaining nut and mounting hole following wiper arm installation. The wiper arm hinge and tension spring are concealed on the underside of the wide end of the arm, while an integral latch feature concealed on the underside of the narrow end of the wiper arm accepts the pivot pin of the matching molded plastic wiper blade unit.
The rear wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If damaged or ineffective, the entire wiper arm unit must be replaced.
