Just done a quick hop up south from Devon to Midlands and back 500 odd miles round trip...

On way up intermittent rain mist. Rear wiper on all the time. 2hrs in I noticed wiper parked at 1200 on rear screen... Thought it was knacked but carried on... Also it had stopped raining...was it knackered?

A bit later started to rain and rear wiper set off on its merry way...

Q does rear wiper sence wet and if not stop on its own? Was it just a qlitch as all fine now and 'parks' at 0300 as norm...
Was it just a festive moment or has anybody else had this happen...

6000 miles no issues after initial prob(see earlier posts(April))
AV mpg 40.1...however 80 + average cruising on quiet motaways so not looking for eco returns!! Ha ha
XC40 FE | D4 | Crystal White | Black interior: delivery date? Got it end April..

Haven't had it happen to me yet on the XC40.

But something similar did happen on my previous Land Rover Discovery Sport. Whenever there was light rain the rear wiper could get stuck at any position in intermittent wiping mode. It was fine in continuous mode OR when the rain gets heavy. The dealer could never figure out what's wrong or reproduce the problem...
