I have not found a fix for this yet, windshield wipers started to come on out of nowhere and would not turn off. Seems the problem is at its worse now, if my windshield wiper fuse is not unplugged. Then my windshield wipers will be on and no way to turn them off. Ive tried all the usual things.

Anyway, recently I've found that my rear wiper has began to 'not work'. When I Google for non-working E46 Touring rear wipers, the usual results is an electrical issue, but mine was different. It did work… Or should I say, tries to work. Karyam nissaram tv serial actress name. Its just very very stiff.

Opening the rear tailgate and moving the wiper by hand takes quite a bit of effort, which is obviously not right. Luckily I found this brilliant thread over on BimmerForums which explains in detail basically what I've just done to fix this issue.

  • Fuse box in the glove compartment BMW E46. Open the glove compartment and turn the two white quick-release fasteners outward.
  • Visibility is essential to safe driving in a BMW. If your windshield wipers aren't working perfectly it's not just unsafe - it can be against the law in many states.

I was almost going to give up on it, but then fast forward to Step 12 on the guide shows removing the shaft from the assembly itself. I thought that could be worth a shot, but doing in-situ.

Which is exactly what I did. Very carefully removing the C-clip, then using molegrips to wiggle the wiper shaft back & forth while pushing from above. After a good few minutes of struggle, it eventually worked.

With the shaft out, I grabbed some emery cloth & cleaned it up a bit.

The other side of the glass, by the way, looks like this with the shaft removed.

I then applied a ton of grease & re-fitted it. Instantly it felt better. From the struggle I had removing it, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it back in, but it EASILY slid right in, and I could wiggle it back & forth easily by hand now. Much better!
