Before you buy (Return‑prevention checklist)
  • Match by photo first: compare the bracket shape, spindle position and plug style to your old unit.
  • Confirm your Civic is MK6 EJ/EK 3‑door hatchback (not the 5‑door “Fastback” MB/MC).
  • If unsure, message us your REG/VIN + a clear photo of your current motor/plug — we’ll verify fitment.
Tip: Item specifics can be wrong. Always trust the photos & part markings.
We also offer a fitting & repair service (subject to availability). If you’d like us to install it, contact us before purchase to check booking slots.
Confirmed Fitment (Parts Compatibility)
Fitment is based on the WM‑4206‑1S application for Civic VI hatch (EJ/EK) and visual matching. Always compare photos.
Make Model / Body Chassis / Platform Years Notes
Honda Civic MK6 – 3‑Door Hatchback EJ / EK (Civic VI Hatchback) 11/1995 – 02/2001
(covers most 1996–2000 registrations, plus early‑2001 in some markets)		 Must be a hatchback with a rear wiper. Verify bracket + plug matches the listing photos.
Will NOT Fit (Common Mistakes)
Not Compatible With Why What to do instead
Civic 5‑Door “Fastback” / Liftback (MA/MB/MC) Different tailgate design & mounting points. Send a photo of your current motor/bracket so we can source the correct one.
Civic Saloon (4‑door) / Coupe Typically no rear wiper motor setup. Check other wiper components (front system) instead.
Civic MK5 (1991–1995 EG/EH) or MK7 (2001–2005 EP) Different generation = different mounting/connector/park angles. Only buy if your existing unit visually matches and carries the same markings.
Any Civic without rear wiper No tailgate motor/spindle arrangement. Not applicable to your vehicle.
🔎 Quick Fitment Chart (Buy the right part first time)
  1. Is your car a Honda Civic MK6? (1996–2000 typical UK reg) → If NO, this is likely not correct.
  2. Is it a 3‑door hatchback? (EJ/EK shape) → If NO (5‑door Fastback, saloon, coupe), this won’t fit.
  3. Does your tailgate have a rear wiper? → If NO, not applicable.
  4. Does your old motor look the same? Match bracket, spindle and plug → If YES, you’re good.
  5. Still unsure? Message us with a photo of your old unit + REG/VIN. We’ll confirm fitment.
Symptoms of a Faulty Rear Wiper Motor
  • Rear wiper stops working completely (no movement / intermittent).
  • Wiper moves but is slow, weak, or stalls under load.
  • Grinding / clicking from the tailgate (worn gearbox or seized linkage).
  • Wiper doesn’t park correctly or parks mid‑screen.
  • Blowing fuses or overheating smell (motor drawing excess current).
Why replace with an original manufacturer part?
  • Correct fit & connector: direct match to factory mounting points and plug.
  • Correct sweep & park behaviour: avoids wrong wipe angles / poor parking position.
  • Durability: cheap copies often use lower‑grade gears/seals, leading to early failure.
  • Value: buying used original parts can save you up to ~70% compared to new in many cases.
Fitting Instructions (DIY Friendly)
Estimated DIY time: 45–75 minutes
Typical labour time: ~0.8–1.2 hours (varies by corrosion/trim clips)
Required tools
Basic hand tools
10mm socket/spanner • 12mm or 14mm socket for wiper arm nut (varies) • Trim clip tool/flat screwdriver • Needle‑nose pliers • Penetrating oil (optional) • Wiper arm puller (optional but helpful)
Safety
Disconnect battery
Recommended to prevent accidental wiper activation and protect electrics.
Step-by-step install guide (click to expand)
  1. Park the wiper in its resting position (switch off ignition).
  2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal (recommended).
  3. Open tailgate. Remove the rear wiper arm:
    • Lift cap, remove the nut, then gently wiggle/pull the arm free (use puller if seized).
  4. Remove the interior tailgate trim panel:
    • Pop trim clips carefully to avoid snapping them.
  5. Unplug the motor electrical connector.
  6. Undo the motor mounting bolts (commonly 10mm) and remove the motor assembly.
  7. Fit the replacement motor in the same orientation. Tighten bolts evenly.
  8. Reconnect the electrical plug.
  9. Before refitting trim, test operation (reconnect battery, run wiper once, confirm smooth sweep and correct park).
  10. Refit the trim panel and clips.
  11. Refit wiper arm aligned to the parked position. Tighten the nut and refit the cap.
Pro tip: If the old spindle seal has leaked, check for water ingress and clean/dry the area before installing the new motor.
