My rear wiper is leaking water into the tailgate.
Is there a replaceable seal/o-ring, or do I have to shell out for a new motor?
TIA
Stuart.

Thanks Andy, I saw that one too. I think it's the one that seals the glass where the shaft comes through. Mine is actually leaking water out of the motor, so there has to be some kind of seal inside.
Cheers anyway
Stuart.

The washer pipe connects to the back of the motor just like a normal washer jet push fitting. The fixed motor pipe runs straight throught the centre of the motor out to the nipple on the outside. It's probably the pipe connection which is leaking, otherwise the motor pipe itself is split, which I'd doubt.
