How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper of a Volkswagen Car?
2 Answers
Volkswagen car's rear wiper can be controlled and turned off using the wiper control lever on the steering wheel. To turn off the car's wiper, simply push the wiper control lever downward. Pushing it upward turns on the wiper. A high-quality wiper should have features such as heat resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, the ability to fit the windshield, reduce the burden on the motor, low noise, strong water repellency, and soft material to avoid scratching the windshield. The wiper, also known as a windscreen wiper, is a device used to wipe off raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety.
I remember the last time I drove a Volkswagen Golf, turning off the rear wiper was quite straightforward. On the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, there's usually a small rotating ring or button dedicated to the rear wiper function. You push it downward or rotate it counterclockwise, and a click sound indicates it's off. Some newer models come with an automatic sensing system—if the wiper is still moving, check if the washer fluid is topped up to avoid dry wiping, which accelerates wiper blade wear. Volkswagen's design is very user-friendly, allowing the operation to be completed while driving, minimizing distraction risks. It's also easy to accidentally activate the rear wiper during routine rear windshield cleaning, so familiarizing yourself with its position is important. Regular maintenance of the wiper system can extend its lifespan; I recommend checking the rubber blades monthly. In short, just locate the switch part on the control stalk and give it a gentle move—keeping your windows clean and safe is the top priority.
