It's driving me nuts. front wipers are in the off position but every 5-6 seconds the rear one wipes. On the Seat you just push the control away from you twice quickly but that doesn't seem to work. Any fabia owners out there care to enlighten me?

snap it off?

Pull the lever towards you gently – you should feel a little click

Sure you pull stalk back!Sounds like you have it in the intermttent wipe position. Wife's got a fabia, can check later.

turn the key towards you.

Don't worry it'll break down soon.

Cheers all. tracknicko – Turning the engine off and on makes no difference. Just collected it, well pleased.

If its owt like my Polo (same platform) you push in the end of the wiper stalk – it'll make a little click, wiper is off.

open the glove-box

and read the instruction manual 🙂

RTFM isn't it?

JoB – instruction manual is at home, I am not 🙄

You have the stalk in the forward position, which turns on intermittent rear wipe – just pull it back and it will rest in the normal position. Pull further back to wash front screen, push further forward to wash rear. At least that's how my Oktavia works.

And Drac – in my experience it is very unlikely to break down!

Are you really not able to figure out the operation of the wiper stalk without asking the internet? 🙄 😉

Drac, would you care to enlighten us as to what you drive?

Dudie – surely the fact I have posted in the first place answers your question 💡
