Its placement on the vehicle is intended for the rear of the body, guaranteeing compatibility with the original electrical system and the drive linkage to the wiper arm.

Precise fitment for the specific model minimizes the risk of installation issues and reduces the need for modifications or additional adjustments. This solution is particularly beneficial for users who expect efficient replacement and quick restoration of full rear wiper functionality.

Technical Characteristics and Rear Window Operation

The rear wiper motor is responsible for generating the torque necessary for smooth movement of the wiper arm across the rear window. The design intended for rear vehicle operation ensures:

• stable operation within typical load ranges for a rear wiper,
• correct integration with the factory control system,
• appropriate operational smoothness in both urban and rural conditions.

As a result, the rear window remains better cleared of water and debris, improving visibility when reversing, parking, and driving in rain or snow.
