If you lift the glass tail up, you will see a little pin on the back of the wiper, this should be spring loaded and fit into the disc that is on the closed tailgate part, the little pin does get seized up and does not reach the disc

Hi Stan, If you put your question in the technical section you will get a better response

I've moved the thread to the other section for you. Mine was stuck, and I used lots of WD40 squirted into the spindle. Pop the outer wiper arm cover off (that protects the securing bolt) and spray. Then with the tailgate glass open, move the wiper arm back and forth across its entire travel lots of times to let the WD40 work in. This all helps to free up the mech.
