The switch for the Borgward rear window wiper is located on the control stalk on either side of the steering wheel. Generally, when facing the steering wheel, the wiper control stalk can be seen on the right side. Locate the right-hand combination control switch on the steering wheel. There is a rotatable switch at the head of the wiper control stalk, which is used to operate the rear window wiper. Gently rotate the control stalk to activate the rear wiper, pushing the stalk in the opposite direction of the driver. Move the control stalk to the 'off' position to turn off the Borgward rear wiper.

The rear wiper switch on the Borgward is actually quite intuitive, as I've driven this type of vehicle several times. There's usually a wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, often with a rotary knob or button at the end. To activate the rear wiper, simply turn the knob to the rear wiper position, or for some models, it's operated by pulling or pushing the end of the stalk. When driving in rainy weather and noticing the rear window getting blurry, I just give it a gentle operation to maintain clear rearview mirror visibility; turning it off is equally straightforward—just return the knob to its original position. Occasionally, remember to use the washer function: press the button on the stalk while operating to spray water and clean the window. New drivers shouldn't worry if they can't find the button right away—just glance through the manual a few times or try different angles of the stalk; the design is actually quite thoughtful, helping to avoid distracted driving, especially on highways where maintaining rear visibility is crucial for safety, making rainy-day driving much less stressful.
