    How do you remove the rear wiper arm on th

    Mine was a pain. If I remember correctly lift the arm so it's sticking out towards you. You will see a little clip where the arm joins to the post for the motor. Move that 'out' with a flat head screw driver and pull the arm off. My arm was on the post pretty good but eventually came off.

    Rear Hatch Latches

    it's actually the opposite - the latches are remaining open and not closing against the 'post' they latch onto - the drivers side went a few months ago and then this week the passengers side went (prob due functioning on it's own for a few months)
