How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Method to turn off the rear wiper on a Volkswagen: There is a knob on the wiper controller for the rear wiper. Twist the head of the control button and lift it upwards to turn off the rear wiper. The car wiper is a four-bar linkage mechanism, divided into front and rear wipers. It is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, wiper blade assembly, etc. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and is also the core enterprise of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's automobile manufacturers. Volkswagen's brands include Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Skoda, Scania, MAN, SEAT, Ducati, etc.
After driving a Volkswagen for so many years, this is how I turn off the rear wiper: At the end of the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, there's a rotary switch. Try gently turning it—usually, it stops at the lowest OFF position. If it automatically activates during light rain while driving, just turn it back. However, different models vary; for example, my friend's Golf requires a downward press to turn it off. Remember, the rear glass gets dirty easily after rain, so you can pull the stalk to spray water when reversing, but it's best to turn it off when the road is dry to avoid wasting the wiper blade and scratching the glass. If it won't stop no matter how you turn it, it might be stuck or the motor could be faulty—it's best to have a repair shop check the control circuit and relay. After all, the rear wiper isn't as crucial as the front one, but it's annoying when it breaks.
