Where is the rear wiper switch for the Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan rear wiper switch is located on the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. The front wipers are controlled by moving the stalk up and down, while the rear wiper is controlled by pushing or pulling the stalk. Here is some information about the rear wiper: 1. The rear wiper is the wiper for the rear windshield, commonly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback vehicles. 2. The rear window of a sedan has a relatively large inclination angle, while that of a hatchback has a smaller one. The front wipers are located behind the engine hood, so when high-speed airflow passes over the front of the car, the front wipers are shielded by the hood and remain unaffected. However, the rear wiper lacks such protection, so the impact of high-speed airflow must be considered during installation.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years, and the rear wiper switch is conveniently located on the right-hand stalk next to the steering wheel. When not in use, it stays in the middle position. To activate it, just turn it clockwise to wipe the rear window, and pulling it backward sprays washer fluid. It often activates automatically when reversing, but during heavy rain, I manually adjust the speed. Remember to check the nozzles regularly to prevent clogging—safe driving is crucial. The position is ergonomically designed, allowing one-handed operation without distracting from driving.
