When i got my XJ the rear wiper arm was snapped close to the base. It seemed to be completely intergrated into the motor as i dont see and easy way to remove it, and a google searched netted no helpful information.

Am i stupid or is there no way to replace the snapped arm without replacing the whole rear window motor and stuff too? i havent taken it apart yet, im hoping for a simple solution.

I'm interested in this too. The nipple broke off of mine and I can't attach the fluid hose anymore, so all I do is squirt the car behind me (which can be fun) when I use it... I didn't want to have to replace the whole assembly either

kidkodiak - you might have to replace the whole thing if the nipple is broken, or crazy glue somthing else there that would work

new2jeeps42, you can order the arm through pepboys, advance, etc. (whatever you have near you) and with a flathead screwdriver and a pair of pliers you can remove it, there is a tab you need to push out right on the inside of the arm the the spline shaft. part should cost you about 25-30 bucks. check my albums for a pic

the picture doesnt show the part of the arm in question. but i saw the tab and worked on it with a screwdriver, then my leatherman, my tab had to be pushed in and jiggled a bit then it and the remnant of the arm came off in two pieces.

thanks alot, greenxj

How do you spray the rear window with wiper fluid.(sorry its a stupid question)

erm, is there a button? on the pre 97s there is a rocker switch on the dash to the right of the steering wheel

on my 93 you push the switch up to wipe and down to wipe/wash.

There aren't any buttons like that on my dash. Its a 99, and to wiped you just press down. I know it works cause once it went off, but I was working on the dash and im not sure what I hit to do this
