Good morning,

Rainy day here today, and my rear wiper ('05 XC70) is tuck in the midway point, sticking straight up. the motor continues to run, though, and there is a slight, low-volume clicking noise. Any thought about how to fix? Do I need to replace?

    Check the nut that holds the wiper arm on. It probably has loosened and needs to be tightened up. Before doing a final tightening, put it on and check that it aligns correctly with your rear window.

    I had my front wipers come loose a couple of times on my 850...:)

    Will I buy another Volvo??? We'll see....

      If the wiper arm splines are as fine as those on the front of a 740 they are prone to slip, I'll bet.

      If you do take it apart, examine the splines and inside the wiper arm mount. There may be worn material that you can clean out.

      On our 740s, I would first add a washer under the nut, to apply more pressure. If things were real bad, I would wrap a few turns of fine copper wire around the splines to add friction to the assembly. If the inside of the wiper arm socket is badly worn, a new arm is in order.

      Clean and oil any pivots - its dirty back there.
