Where is the rear wiper switch for the Borgward BX7 located?
2 Answers
Most wiper switches are located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, known as the stalk-type wiper. However, a few vehicles have them positioned on the left-hand stalk. Wipers, also referred to as windshield wipers or windscreen wipers, are devices used to sweep away raindrops and dust adhering to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. Usage notes: Even when it's not raining, if you notice reduced transparency of the front windshield while driving—especially during nighttime when dust on the glass scatters light—it's advisable to use the wiper with windshield washer fluid to maintain optimal clarity of the front windshield.
Hey, friends driving the Borgward BX7, I know the location of the rear wiper switch can be a bit confusing for some owners. Generally, it's on the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel—the same stalk that controls both front and rear wipers. Look for a small knob or button at the tip of the stalk; twisting or toggling it in one direction should activate the rear wiper. Having driven similar models, I can say the rear wiper is especially important in SUVs, as the rear window tends to get dirty quickly in rainy conditions, and using it improves visibility and safety. If you have an older model, you might need to try different directions a few times or check its functionality before it rains. Don’t worry if you can’t find it right away—most cars have indicator icons, and taking your time to explore or referring to the owner’s manual is the most reliable approach. Safe driving always comes first. Also, get into the habit of cleaning the wiper blades regularly to extend their lifespan—don’t wait until they fail to take action.
