How to turn off the rear wiper on that Borgward? I was also quite confused when I first drove this car. There's a long control lever on the right side of the steering wheel with various icons marked on it. Look for a symbol with a small car and a diagonal line or something like a raindrop mark. You can switch its status by pushing it down or rotating it. Sometimes if you forget to turn it off, it keeps swishing noisily, which is not only annoying but also wastes battery power. Leaving it on for a long time may wear out the rubber blade—that’s how mine got damaged once. Since then, I always remember to check it when parking. I suggest you also develop the habit of making sure there’s no rain before turning off the wiper—safety first. Usually, take a look at the owner’s manual; it has clearer diagrams. Don’t panic when encountering problems—just try step by step.

The rear wiper switch of Borgward cars is quite user-friendly in design, mostly integrated into the wiper control lever. It's not difficult to operate: sit in the driver's seat, locate the lever on the right side of the steering wheel, and gently rotate the knob to the 'off' position to turn it off. I encountered this issue before when driving an older model, and turning it off solved the problem. Don't forget that if you don't turn it off promptly after the rain stops, it can increase wear on the wiper blades, leading to unnecessary expenses for replacement parts later. In daily maintenance, checking this switch is a crucial step to ensure the wiring isn't loose. If you've tried for a while with no response, it might be a minor motor issue, so head to the repair shop quickly for a check.

Be careful when operating the rear wiper of your Borgward. Usually, there's a rear wiper mode switch on the control stalk below the dashboard. Rotate it counterclockwise to the end to turn it off. That's how I always do it—just make sure to do it gently without pulling hard to avoid damaging the switch. Leaving the wiper on can obstruct your view and isn't safe, especially on highways. Always pay attention to the switch position during daily use, so you don't panic when problems arise.
