Help
I switched on rear wiper this morning and nothing happened. Got out of car, wriggled it a bit, tried again and it went. Next time I switched it on, it wouldn't work. When I left work tonight I tried pushing, pulling and wriggling it again. On drive home, each time I tried it it worked........ but for how long? Any ideas for a permanent fix, please? Thanks.

Got to admit to this on mine too, I see it as a quirk lol.
I can leave the rear wiper switched on and 5 minutes later it will work, totally random lol.

Dirty boot contacts, knackered wiper motor, or Bens hexed it

easy one!
earthing problem
open the boot and gently tap the hinge pins on the tailgate with something that will not damage the paintwork (eg place something wooden on the end of the pin and tap the wood with a small hammer)
is likely that over the winter some corrosion has built up around the pins - less likely to happen if you keep the kat in a garage overnight

Thanks Ben - will give it a try.
PS my old kat was never garaged in its 10 years and didn't have any problems ..... the Thunder was over protected!!
