Rear windscreen wiper

Hi all,

A bit of newbie and don’t know a lot about cars. I have a 00 Toyota Corolla and it’s going for it’s NCT shortly. Windscreen wipers were a bit frayed so I measured up, popped to halfords and bought some new ones. Changed them out. Front ones working no problem but rear one now moves a fraction and then stops.

Put the old one back on and it goes again but rubber bits hanging everywhere so want the new one working. Is there a different weight for rear windscreen wipers or what else am I missing? It looks the same as the old one, but as I said not very experience here.

I have seen a thread on here which says that rear wipers aren’t checked in NCT but handy to have when driving in the rain.

Thanks for any advice,

Is the nut holding the main arm good and tight?
