| While traveling down the road i tried to activate the rear wiper to clean the rear window. but the windshield wiper would not move and a horrendous noise came from the rear windshield wiper motor. the noise would not go away so i had to pull into a driveway to see if i could get it to stop. i had to manually push the windshield wiper to get it to work. after that i turned off the wiper because every time it tried to clear the window the noise came back and the wiper would not move. the wiper is broken and will not work under any circumstances. during rain this severely limits my rear window visibility. unfortunately because of the current economy i will have to wait to get it fixed. | |||
