Wiper motor seized, opened up gearbox full of rust - cleaned up greased and got it working - decided to clean motor - not a good idea as when I reassembled the motor it didn't want to spin. To me the part looks identical to a Mk6/7 Fiesta - has anyone tried this swap it's an order of magnitude cheaper. |

I haven't used this forum before and hope someone can help or assist. The rear wiper on my 57 plate XS stopped working around seven months ago. The dealer wanted around £250+labour to replace . I told them to leave it. Unfortunatly it's been anoying me when your out in misseable weather. can ayone help. |

It is not a difficult job to do, I would expect to be done and dusted in under an hour. |

Easy job, take two screws out of the inner panel handles, rise inner panel off, remove elec connector, remove wiper arm (13mm nut) remove 3 off, 10mm nuts that hold motor on and pull it out of the window grommet. Then on the bench remove the 5 torx screws that hold silver plate on the gear mechanism, it'll be full of crusty old grease, push the shaft out from the outside taking with it the yellow gear and mechanism then it a case of clean it all up, particularly the shaft which will probably be well rusty, clean the elec contacts on the back of the yellow gear, make sure the brass bush on the shaft is ok, then grease it all up and as they say in all the best manuals, assembly is the reverse of disassembly.

A wiper motor that can't withstand water! must have been designed by the same person who thought of the chocolate fire guard! Or the same person who recommends V rated tyres on a 4x4 so you can't buy decent A/T tyres for it without going against manufacturers recommendations!

My rear wiper seized up last week too. After a read through this thread, followed instructions to free it up again and it's back in action again now - thank you! |

The most effective fix for the leak is that the rear wiper arm clip-on spindle cap now has a noticeably longer skirt to it, not sure when it was changed but my dealer didn't stock it so I found a suitable replacement in a yard of all places. Avoid aiming a pressure washer at the wiper arm spindle unless you can get hold of the replacement cap which should be a cheap fix and something anybody can do in 30 seconds with no tools needed. |

Had a similar experience to many in that the motor has stopped working. Mechanism rusted. Cleaned and freed mechanism but still not working. Power getting through but there is absolutely no life when switched on. Any ideas before I have to part with a lot of dose for a new one |
