this is a very common problem on the 6N and 6N2, I have had both these models and the 6N one completely stopped working and the 6N2 was acting weird by the time I sold it.

Polos have always had crappy rear wipers!!!

my old 86C wago's never wanted to budge, and every other owners says the same, I just loved the 2KG weight advantage by binning the rear 'ballast'

might be the actual spindles does it make any sounds when you try the wiper?

Are you for real? Seriously?

It's a special VW thing, the wipers are powered by a bicycle dynamo resting on one of the front wheels.
