Intended Use and Function in the Vehicle

The presented wiper arm has been specifically designed for the rear windshield of the Audi SQ5 FY generation. Its placement in the rear tailgate area means the component is responsible for even pressure of the blade against the glass, which is crucial for effectively clearing water and mud from the driver’s field of vision.

As an original Audi part, the arm is structurally matched to the geometry of the rear windshield and the drive mechanism, minimizing the risk of vibrations, noise, and uneven wiper operation.

Construction and Technical Specifications

The rear wiper arm for the Audi SQ5 FY utilizes a precise mounting system to the mechanism’s axis, ensuring stable transfer of torque from the wiper motor to the blade. The construction has been developed to:

• maintain constant pressure of the blade on the glass surface throughout its range of motion,
• minimize blade wear through appropriately selected geometry,
• ensure smooth, predictable movement without jumps or jerks.

The choice of material and shape of the arm is optimized for operation in external conditions – variable temperatures, humidity, and exposure to road contaminants.

Item Condition and Benefits of Use

The offered wiper arm is a used item, allowing for an economical replacement while maintaining the original manufacturer’s specifications. For the user, this means:

• maintaining factory fit to the rear windshield and wiper mechanism,
• consistent appearance with other body elements of the Audi SQ5 FY,
• the ability to restore proper rear wiper function after damage or wear of the existing arm.

Using an original arm from the same model series reduces the risk of installation problems and improper blade pressure, which often occur with non-original parts.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

The Audi SQ5 FY rear wiper arm is intended for installation in its factory location, utilizing the existing drive mechanism. When replacing, it is recommended to:

• thoroughly clean the mounting socket on the mechanism’s axis,
• check the condition of the wiper blade and replace it if necessary,
• set the arm to its resting position, consistent with its factory position on the glass.

Regular checks of the rear wiper’s operation – especially after the winter season – help maintain adequate visibility and reduce wear on the glass and blade.
