Rear window is getting caught on something

[derickglancy]

So recently I tried rolling down my rear window and it is catching something. It will go down about a half inch then catch (what it seems to be) my rear windshield wiper on the inside (motor or something).
Has this happened to anyone else?
I was thinking about just taking the rear windshield wiper off. Any advice?
Thanks fellas

Yes, mine did this too, the anchor bolts for the rear wiper motor rattled loose and caused it to bind against the window. Remove the back panel and metal backing plate and you will see the three 10mm bolts holding it down, one or two may be sitting in the bottom of the hatch. Re install them with blue loctite and call it a day.

Don't remove the motor, not much sense in that.

Pull the panel off. Up at the base of the window more on the passenger side you will likely see the bottom plastic track of the window hitting the wiper motor. I used a breaker bar, just because it was strong enough and long enough, and pushed up on the motor until it cleared the window. I did this back in October and the problem has not returned.

This was happening to me. A simple re-greasing of the track fixed the problem.
