Replacing rear wiper?

Hi folks,

I'd like to replace the rear wiper, but am having trouble accessing it. Is there some secret to getting the wiper blade arm to stop halfway through its rotation so that I can reach the head of the wiper arm?

From the UK forum:

To get the rear wiper to stay in the middle of the window without haveng to open the boot at the exact time this works on my MY15.5

1- turn the ignition on
2- turn ignition off. as its going off hold the right stalk down in the single wipe position
3- while still holding the stalk down turn the ignition back on front and rear wipers will move to the "service" position

leave the key in the car while you change the blades then turn the ignition off to reset them.

I'd watch out for the battery time-out though. if the ignition goes off they will probably return to their normal positions and if you've left them off the window then they are going to hit your bonnet.

personally I'd use winter park for the fronts as i can turn the ignition off and there's no danger of them moving and this if i ever need to do the rear although it would be nice to be able to clean up there once in a while.
