1999 Quest Rear Wiper Problem

Submitted by Hiimmel on Fri, 2007-11-16 10:39. 1999 - 2002 Nissan Quest

Frequently, but not always, the rear wiper when activated drops down on the rear deck and stays there. I have to open and then close the rear window to get the wiper to return to its original position. I'm looking for the cause and solution. Thanks, the forum looks good.
