Rear Wiper trouble
I bought my SVX about 3 days ago, and the rear window wiper was not working. I checked today and found that the fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and now it STILL doesn't work. When I turn on the wiper, I can hear the motor running or something making a noise like its running but the blade is not moving. I'm not sure on how to remove the plastic things that hold the carpet lining of the trunk in place so that I can get to the motor. I'm afraid of breaking them. Do I just unscrew them, or are they more like nails and I can just pull them straight out?
Also, if anyone has experienced the same or similar problem, can they post what they did to fix it? So that once I get in there I can have a better idea of what to do with it  Thanks for the help guys!

Remove the wiper arm and see if the gear moves. The arm or the gear could be stripped.

The disks just pop off. I use something flat to pry them off. Like David says, check the wiper part first.

Did the tip of the wiper get stuck in the trunk? That happened to mine and I had to reposition it.

The car did have the wiper when i got it. I just got my SVX less than a week ago, and it didn't work when I got it. It may have gotten stuck in the trunk by a previous owner, which caused some problem, but not because of my doing.

Not yet, I work weekends. I'll probably mess with it Monday. It's lower on the list of priorities of things that need fixed. (I wish it was all that needed fixed
 ). It's something I'll mess around with when I don't have tons of time to do work on the car.
