Cross Turismo Rear wiper ARM

[Bennachie]

Any one know how to remove the cover for the arm and the arm itself to enable realignment to prevent the awful noise on one way wiping?

Estonia must know how. Is it just a brute force pull to remove the plastic cover?

Before you go nuclear have you tried either replacing the blade or cleaning the existing one with spirit?

 

[Bennachie]

Yes, thanks.
Cleaned the blade, replaced the blade etc. The arm does not allow the blade to be at right angles to the screen when not pressured or wiping hence the judder in one direction. In my case the first arc. Twisting the arm to correct alignment usually/almost always corrects this. The flies in the ointment are the Taycan CTs spring steel arm and the plastic cover.
So far not brave enough to try and lever the cover off. Of course the washer tube is yet anothe complication...

Google is normally your friend, but in this case, it would appear not...

Have you got the blade around the right way (see manual)?

 

[Bennachie]

Yep

Hey! On the Cross Turismo rear wiper, the cover is usually just a snap on plastic cap no need to yank it off. Carefully pry it with a small flathead or plastic trim tool to avoid scratches. Underneath, the wiper arm is held by a nut. Just loosen the nut, lift the arm, adjust it for proper alignment, then tighten the nut and snap the cover back on.

Pry off the plastic cover..

Levering where exactly; what direction are the clips orientation etc.

Saying the cover USUALLY just clips on does not fill me with confidence.

So, a Porsche secret then. Nobody? knows how to do it?

Hello...

I have the same juddering issue so inspirerd by this thread I wanted to reverse the blade. But I cannot even get the blade off with the instructions in the manual. Googling around to look at replacement blades for inspiration I came across the explosion graphic of the whole assembly here

I realised that Porsche wants us to put the index finger between wiper and arm simply to create a lever. Got it out now and am puzzled by the "spoiler" the installion instructions refer to. Anyway, will reverse for a bit of fun before probably replacing with a new one.

I took the blade off a while ago and replaced the rubber only. The spoiler slides on and held in place by a clip on the end. I carefully prised that off and managed to reuse it. You will have to do that if you want to reverse the rubber. I suspect the spring pressure on the rear is slightly too great which after a period of time means the rubber blade collapses in one direction slightly and stays in that form going the other direction, hence skips. 6 months after replacing the rubber mine started doing the same thing so I’ll be doing the same replacement later today probably (while everyone else is sleeping off the food and booze). I purchased wiper rubber from Amazon so have enough to do five or six times before needing to buy more.
If anyone finds a better solution please do share!

That sounds about right.

Have to say that when I attempted to reverse the blade, it would not go on 'the other way around'. The clip seemed assymetric. I have since replaced the rubber but am not convinced the issue is resolved. I think the arm is not at right angles to the window glass. Judicious twisting of the arm th achieve 'a better angle' has always worked on other vehicles, my Macan S for instance, but, you cannot access the sprung arm because of the plastic arm cover, which, it would appear, no one knows how to remove....... A Porsche secret.
I have not been brave enough to apply brute force.

Merry Christmas!

Anyone?

No idea how to remove the plastic cover or arm.
Mine was also horrible in one direction and poor in the other.
Fitted this 2 weeks ago and it's been perfect since.
And only £9.99.
