Description
Rear Wiper Arm for Citroën C4, part number 6429X8. This direct-fit replacement is suitable for PSA group vehicles (Citroën/Peugeot) and is intended for professional mechanics and competent DIYers. The part is commonly searched by its product code 6429X8 for fast identification and correct fitment.
Features And Function
The rear wiper arm transfers motion from the rear wiper motor to the rubber blade, maintaining clear rear visibility in wet and winter conditions. The arm secures the blade to the splined stalk and provides correct park positioning. Please note: the rubber blade quality is not guaranteed with this listing; the metal arm and mounting interface are reported to be in good condition.
Fitment And Compatibility
Designed primarily for Citroën C4 rear hatch applications. Compatible where the OEM/reference number 6429X8 is specified. Always confirm vehicle compatibility using VIN or OEM parts lookup before ordering.
Installation Notes
- Removal: Remove the plastic cap (if present) covering the retaining nut, unfasten the nut securing the wiper arm to the splined shaft, then carefully pull the arm off the splines.
- Installation: Align the splines to the original park position, press the arm onto the shaft, and tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specified torque (refer to vehicle workshop manual). Replace the cover.
- Maintenance Tip: Apply a light anti-seize to the splined shaft to reduce corrosion and ease future removal. Replace the rubber blade when streaking or noise occurs.
Common Failure Modes
Rear wiper arms typically fail due to corrosion, impact damage (bent arm), stripped or worn splines, or seized retaining nuts. The rubber insert (blade) commonly wears faster than the arm and may require separate replacement.
