Hi there
my rear wash wipe has stopped working

when i looked at it the water is coming out of the boot lock. I have searched the forum and see that it is a common fault - something has split.
I was going to have a go at it myself but dont know where exactly to begin.
I have just tried to get the inside panel off the boot lid but it needs some screw driver head I dont have - does anybody know what they are called so i can maybe go to halfords and get one. Its like an allen key and a philips head screw driver merged together.?
Plus am I going about this the right way?
Many thanks in advance.

you are going about it the right way!! you need a screwdriver with a star head im not sure wats its real name is somebody may confirm that!!

but i get the impression its a common problem it happened to me not so long ago!

first you need to take out those two screws in th handles then run a flat head screw driver round the edge of the panl and prise the clips out then it should just pop off bear in mind it will probably be soaking wet so will need drying out before replacing it!! but all that willl have happend is that the pipe that sends water the the wiper has come off and is just spraying water into ther boot cavity so that just needs reconnecting!

hope this helps!

A normal star head screw driver? I will try later when i get a chance but when i looked it looked alittle different from the things im used to seeing around the home lol
