Rear Wiper on C5 Estate
Any ideas? i have a C5 estate 2.2 on a 51 plate the rear wiper goes half way knocks and stops if you open the tail window you can see the motor and that works fine close it back down wiper goes half way again if you help it with your hand it will go, seems like the arm has gone tight for the motor to move it.

Mine di same thing about a year after I crushed it slightly reversing into a wall.
The stealer fitted a new one as I could see motor was fine, like yours the little stick turned when tailgate was open.
When they first fitted it they did the nut on the wiper far too tight and it only moved halfway. The housing for the wiper I think is mostly plastic tabs so it should come off but I think the bits are easy to brake as I've a feeling I needed every new bit that's listed. Inc a nut for some reason.
Hope this helps and makes sense it's hard to type on iphone

Had a better look at wiper motor today and found one of the brackets that hold motor to the door has a crack in it!.
