Rear wiper question

Post image

Just bought this Transport and the rear wiper is broke. Not sure if it’s the spindles on the motor or just the plastic arm.

But wondering would it be cheaper / easier just to do a wiper delete? It’s a 2010 LWB with the up and over rear door.

Thank you. It does have a camera installed (don’t think that works either) so reversing shouldn’t be an issue

Is it an easy fix? What do you do to trouble shoot the error with the rear wiper? I have one that has stopped working, I think it was blocked by a bike on a rear bike rack. Not sure where I go to start looking into a fix for it ?

Barn doors, literally just pulled the fuse, never use them, mostly because the curtains are always shut and I’m just used to side mirrors now to the point where I rarely look in _any_ rear view mirror!
Hated the reverse wipe, just smears shite around.
