I was wondering if anyone is having any problems with the plastic on the top panel of the clamshell rear. (this may have been discussed but...) Mine plastic panel that covers the rear windshield wiper stuff underneath keeps coming off. Also the handle that you use to close the top, keeps coming off too. I already to it to the dealer and they "fixed" it, but it started coming off again about 3 weeks later. I was wondering if ther is a fix to that. It is really annoying and made very cheaply!!! Please help

Mine at one fastener point sometimes is loose and I bang it back in. I can see if more fasteners are damaged or loose the cover will not stay. Your dealer should get new fasteners for you. I think they are clips of some kind. I plan to take my cover off to see if I can make a inside hatch release.

No problems yet with my rear wiper except that I turn it on when I don't intend to.

At least you know how to accidently turn on your back wiper. I have owned my E for over 3 months now and i don't know how to :roll:

It's on the end of your windshield wiper stalk. Twist the end with your thumb and forefinger and it will turn on.
