Part Description

This listing is for a used Volvo V40 rear wiper arm and blade assembly for the tailgate rear window. It fits on the exterior rear screen/tailgate spindle and is driven by the rear wiper motor. Its job is to hold the rear wiper blade at the correct pressure and sweep angle so the rear window clears rain, spray, dirt and road film properly.

The rear wiper arm is a common replacement part where the blade has split, the arm has cracked, the spring tension is weak, the cap is missing, the arm has slipped on the spindle, or the rear window is no longer clearing properly. A correctly shaped Volvo factory-fit arm helps maintain the correct rear window sweep pattern, blade pressure and parked position.

Typical construction is a black moulded rear wiper arm with rubber blade, spring/tension mechanism and spindle cover/cap design. Exact cosmetic condition, marks and wear should be checked from the eBay item photos because this is a used vehicle part.

Compatibility & Fitment Table

Important: Always compare the actual eBay photos first. The item specifics can be incomplete or generic, so photo matching is the safest way to avoid wrong orders. Check the arm shape, rear screen position, spindle fitting, cap design and blade length before buying.

Buyer fitment check:

This is for the Volvo V40 5-door hatchback rear tailgate wiper area. It is not a front wiper arm, not a rear wiper motor, not a washer pump and not a stalk/switch. If your rear arm shape, fixing or parked position looks different from the listing photos, please ask through eBay messages before ordering.

Reference Numbers To Compare

The current eBay item specifics do not confirm a stamped manufacturer reference number. The following are common catalogue/reference numbers associated with Volvo V40 rear wiper blade or rear wiper arm/blade assemblies. Use these for comparison only and confirm by photo before purchase.

Because trims, replacement history and rear arm design can vary, the final check should always be the actual part photos and the shape fitted to your car.

Symptoms This Part May Fix

Rear window not clearing rain, dirt or road spray properly.

Wiper blade judders, smears, skips or leaves streaks.

Rear wiper arm is cracked, missing, loose or has lost spring tension.

Arm slips on the rear spindle or parks in the wrong place.

Washer fluid sprays but the blade does not wipe effectively.

Poor rear visibility during rain, motorway spray or winter driving.

Why Buy A Used Factory-Fit Volvo Part?

A factory-fit Volvo rear wiper arm is designed around the correct rear screen curve, sweep angle, parked position, blade pressure and tailgate spindle fit. Cheap copy parts can sometimes look similar online but may not sit correctly, may wipe poorly, may lift at speed, or may leave the rear screen streaky.

Buying used can also save as much as 70% compared with many new dealer-supplied parts, depending on availability and current prices. You get the correct fitment style while supporting reuse and reducing unnecessary waste.

Fitting Guide, Tools & Estimated Repair Time

Required Tools

Plastic trim tool or small flat trim lever
Socket/spanner for rear wiper retaining nut, commonly 13mm but verify on vehicle
Masking tape to mark parked position
Cloth or towel to protect paint and glass
Penetrating oil if the old arm is seized
Optional wiper arm puller for stubborn arms

Estimated Time

DIY: usually 15-30 minutes.

Garage: usually around 0.5 hour, depending on whether the old arm is seized and whether a minimum labour charge applies.

Basic Fitting Steps

Park safely, switch the ignition off and allow the rear wiper to rest in its parked position.
Use masking tape on the rear glass to mark the old arm position before removal.
Lift or unclip the plastic cover cap at the base of the rear wiper arm.
Remove the retaining nut from the rear spindle.
Gently rock the old arm free from the splined spindle. Do not lever hard against the glass.
Clean the spindle area and check the motor spindle is not damaged.
Fit the replacement arm in the same parked position and refit the retaining nut securely.
Clip the cap back into place, test the rear wash/wipe and confirm the blade clears the rear screen correctly.
