Hi all, have to reopen this thread again as mine has seized. The motor is fine and operates without any problem. Ive removed all nuts a circlip and a small rubber seal from around the shaft, I've sprayed 3 in 1 silicone lubricant into the space between the shaft and the tube it is supposed to freely rotate in and I still can't free the shaft enough for the motor to turn it without the glass in the closed position actually moving in the tailgate.

Does anyone know how to extract the shaft from the tube without either breaking the glass or applying heat which I 'm reluctant to do.

As an aside, I've found an easy way to test the motor with the window open. Slowly insert a flat bladed screw driver into the keep the rear glass striker would go into then remove it and the wiper motor thinks the window is closed, the motor should then work as normal with the window open. Before closing the window press the opening switch mounted in the handle and the keep re-opens to recieve the striker from the rear window. Do not try to close the window without pressing the opening button on the window glass to open the keep or you could damage the mechanism.

Thanks Woodworkwilly
