Window Wipers issue

[Martinez]

After my recent incident with the cyclist, as he went into my windshield, he has damaged the passenger wiper. It is not working , however the drivers wiper is. You can move it around and do anything, however, the drivers one is normal, wont move unless you press the stick.

Any suggestions of what it could be?

Might have Sheared it off the mechanism

cheers,

I will have a look when I get home. Will I have to remove the whole cover to see it, or can I see it through the little access flap thin above the cabin filter?

As dave says, it will have dropped off the joint on the arm

There is a fix in the how2 section involving using a cable tie. Not sure if you're able to view it anymore though unless you're a full member.

If it doesn't work, then I Found a photo that I previously linked to.

There is also another how2 using wire to repair it.

Brilliant cheers mate,

I gather to pull the wipers off you just pull them?

Never mind, just googled it, a 13mm socket i think it was

You can get the repair clip to fix it permanent but the cable ties work lol

Yeah, something like that, then you need to get the wiper arm off the splined shaft. It might come off easy, or some help from a screwdriver to prise it off.

If you use the clip you don't have to remove the wiper assembly at all.
