VW Back Glass Wiper Motor - Genuine VW 5N0955711B

Product Information

A back glass wiper motor is the electric motor that powers the rear windshield wiper on hatchbacks, SUVs, and some wagons. It drives the wiper arm back and forth across the rear glass to clear rain, snow, or dirt, ensuring good visibility through the rear window. The motor is usually mounted inside the tailgate or hatch and works in sync with the wiper switch and washer system.

• Rear wiper not moving at all, often due to a burned-out motor or internal electrical fault.
• Slow, intermittent, or stuck movement, caused by a weak or failing motor.
• Unusual noises (grinding, whining, or clicking) from the motor area when the rear wiper is engaged.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
