Not sure if this is only a 996 issue or whether it applies to 997 also, but was told today that I should zip tie the rear wiper blade to the arm to prevent damage to the paint if the arm falls while the car is being washed. Apparently quite common: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/18989-rear-wiper-turbo-devil.html

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
