Had mine replaced a few weeks ago. Luckily found one from a grey dealer, otherwise I need to wait around a month to get the part in.

I'm not talking about the actual wiper.
There seems to be something wrong with the wiper motor.

Need to replace the motor!

Unfortunately there are 2 wiper motors in this car, hopefully it's only one of them.

How can I make sure which one it is?

Any online stores I can buy them at for right hand drive? The dealer locally here in HK charges a lot.
