Default So do DII rear wiper motors just suck?
Or do I need to stop being cheap and buy a new one? I replaced my original with 2 used motors and now the third one is dead. Anyone have a similar issue?

No they suck.
Every late model DII that I see on the road has the wiper stuck in the "up" position in the middle of the window.

I think I am going to replace the whole assembly with a new one and then never use it again. A bit OCD yes I know.

Same with my sunroofs, you never know if they will close again. Gotta love these trucks. Glad my other car is a corolla.

Our other car is a Volvo and my Rover is less troublesome and more reliable than the Volvo.
