Need guidance on replacing rear wiper motor XC90

Does anyone have guidance on how to remove the rear panel to get at the motor? I would like to attempt it myself

2006 XC90.

THe garage door came down on the arm of the wiper and knocked it in a way that it will no longer work.

Thanks!

Need guidance on replacing rear wiper motor XC90

Is the wiper motor still working? I would start by removing the wiper arm and trying the wiper. Check to see if the post that goes through the door is perpendicular or bent downward. You can prop a small 2X4 under the wiper post and bang it up with a 16 ounce hammer???

If the motor no longer works, with the arm off, you might have damaged a lot more than just the wiper arm.

I have removed the rear panel on my 1998 too many times. Unfortunately, every time I take it off, I manage to break a few plastic clips which requires a trip to the dealer for replacements.

Body shops are used to dealing with things like this and are much cheaper than new car dealers.
