Just put the seal in mine as it started to leak after i cleaned the line out and replaced the NRV. You dont have to remove the spoiler/wiper arm to do this repair just remove the 3 30 torx mounting bolts and the 7 15 torx screws it only takes about 20 minutes |

Took mine apart at the weekend and yep full of brown gunk - cleaned it all out - refitted it then snapped the top off the wiper arm spindle Got so fed up with it (and it was only ever going to be a temporary repair) that I followed RRUK's advise - Dan has yet more of my hard earned folding stuff and as of tomorrow I should have a nice new wiper motor "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

Remember to bolt the spoiler back in place as if you don't this becomes a very expensive mod

I think I have this same problem. Got back from a trip last night in my FF after using the rear washer (never used before) and noticed yellow fluid running down the inside rear window and sitting on my parcel shelf (this would be the washer fluid).

I would take the spoiler off, makes life sooooo much easier . If it's been leaking, the chances are the motor assembly will be filled with brown, slimy greasy stuff that could go all over the inside of the car.

Thanks. I don't mind taking the spoiler off, it's whether I need to remove the wiper arm from the spindle or not. After recently fitting a new one and the previous one I removed and binned being badly corroded, I would ideally prefer not to have to take the newly fitted arm off the spline again.

If you're going to take the motor out to work on it (preferred) you need to take the wiper arm off the spindle first. If you've recently replaced it, it should come off much easier.

^ yep will come off a treat now if it's been off recently. So much easier to work on the mechanism on the kitchen table👍 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
