I got a replacement wiper arm for the tailgate off ebay for around £9 I believe. It is a solid plastic unit that looks so more modern than the cheap nasty looking thing LR fitted that is from the 1980's lol.
The replacement is probably a Ford item to be honest but was from a universal seller.

If you go into my gallery you will see a rear view picture of it as I still havn't worked out how to get a picture from there to here = too fidly.


I got the same wiper, only one downside is the arm is all plastic where it bolts onto the spline of the motor. I found out that if you tighten the nut up to much it will split the arm under the nut. I have kept the opriginal arm just in case the replacement one eventually falls off.


I kept it too, The original arm springs back too but I'm not bothered about that as the new one is easier to clean. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

That wasn't the suplier but the wiper looks exactly the same. I recon it could be a Ford item as I cleaned one recently possibly a C-Max & noticed that the rear wiper on that looked the same. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

I read in one of the original FL2 blurbs a while back that LR had tried all types of streamlined rear wiper arms because they wanted something that looked smart on their new baby. However all that was tried did not function as they expected and the only one that functioned satisfactory was the boring old standard one that we all have.

Will be interesting to hear if your fleebay one works as well as the original Thumbs Up 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
