Rear wiper on an '05 Outback doesn't park propertly


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

The rear wiper on my '05 Outback does not park properly. It will stop at random spots. It also stops in random spots when you have it in intermittent mode. Extremely annoying.

 

Is there any way to deal with this other than replacing the wiper motor?

 

AND...

 

If I have to replace the wiper motor, can anyone offer suggestions on removing the interior trim on the wagon liftback?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you have the common broken hatch Hanes wiring. It breaks in the accordion boot at eye level with the hatch open, on the right side. It can be repaired it it's one or two broken wires but any more then 4 or 5 and I'd recommend getting a new harness.
