L322 Rear wiper blade replacement

Hi Guys, this is my first post so Hello!
How do I change the rear wiper blade on my 2010 vogue, it's tucked up under the roof spoiler.
Any help much appreciated.

Same as you normally would ?
only thing to do different is turn off the ignition when the arm out from under the spoiler so you can get to it

And hello and welcome

I tried that but, this model has button start stop, so when I activate the rear wiper and push the ignition to turn off, the wiper automatically returns to rest position.

Someone will be along on here shortly to provide the answer I'm sure, if nothing else is forthcoming you will need to remove the upper spoiler (relatively simple)

Thanks, I had seen a video on how to remove the spoiler, looks straight forward enough. But there must be an easier way for such a simple job.
Perhaps I could put the wiper in motion and then disconnect the battery lead when the blade is out from under the spoiler. But again there must be an easier way for such a simple service job.

Be careful disconnecting the battery with the ignition on (airbags, pre tensioners and explosive pos link)

EEEKKK never would have thought of that!!
Thanks.

Don't know for sure it would affect these systems but better not to find out

If its like the p38 have the wipers on and open the tailgate when the wiper is mid travel.

try this

Thank's guys, I had already seen that video, but that model had key start not button stop start like mine, so this method does not work.
Will try the tailgate method tomorrow.
Many thanks for all the help.

Wheres the thumbs up smiley for this.

Try this - works for front and rear wipers on the L405 & (dare I say it) Evoke).

Though it only refers to the front wipers, it works the rear wiper at the same time:-

WIPERS SERVICE POSITION
Before changing a front wiper blade, the wiper
arms must be set in the service position as
follows;
Note: The Smart Key must remain in the
vehicle while wiper blades are replaced.
1. Ensure that the ignition is turned off.
2. Turn the ignition on then off again.
3. Immediately push the wiper control down
to start the single wipe operation and turn
on the ignition again.
The wipers will move to their service
position.
4. When the new parts have been fitted, turn
the ignition off. This will return the wipers
to park position.

Good luck.

Thanks guys for all the help, tried Pete the bikers solution works well but unfortunately only on front wipers.
However the idea from brianp38 with it being the same as the P38 worked a treat.
Thanks again for all the help.
Great forum!
Hasta luego from Estepona Spain.

Glad to help and good that its a simple way to do it. we likes simple easy fixes.

At the risk of sounding stupid - could you not locate the relevant fuse and pull it out when the blade is down?
