Rear Wiper

My rear wiper has stopped moving and makes a weird wining and grinding noise when switching on, any ideas ? cant see it being the motor as when we turn the wiper on it makes the noise until we help the wiper on and then the noise stops and the wiper completes a normal sweep.

Many thanks - Matt

I expect the plastic gears inside the motor have been stripped somehow. New wiper motor, I'm afraid.

I’ve got this issue at the moment. Motor and gear appear to be ok but the shaft rotates freely in the socket on my D4. Are these parts available as spares? Probably will replace both if I can.
