Springs break all the time on these, and a rear window can be jammed shut for the time being - it's not as inconvenient as a front one. It'll be a lot nicer once cleaned out. Does it still have an MoT? I lent my old, redundant Audi, with 9months MoT to my son-in-law. He returned it to me 2 days before the MoT expiry date, with an MoT fail certificate listing 2 tyres, defective wiper, badly scratched windscreen and worn rear suspension bushes. The windscreen particularly annoyed me, as it had been renewed only a year previously, and for the cost of a new wiper (or asking me if I had one, which I did,) it would not have failed an MoT. As it was, I couldn't even get it replaced on the windscreen cover for £65 excess, as he cancelled it the day he returned the car. I scrapped it, engine still running beautifully with 250,000 miles.
