Help! Rear wiper wires broken

[BobbySpeed]

i went to go figure out why the button on the rear glass doesn’t work, and once I took the cover off I saw both wires broken. Rear hatch does open with key fob.

Remove wiper and unit and then what? It looks like the wire broke really short, but I can’t tell for sure untilI get the rear wiper off the shaft and then remove the nuts on the unit inside? Am I close? What if the wire is broken at the actuator? And how the heck do you get that particular wire connector apart???
thanks.

Pelican Parts has a really good write up on this (Rear Window Switch Replacement). It was the first repair I ever did on my Cayenne. You can remove the trim pieces off of the inside of the rear hatch and gain access to the guts of the hatch release. This should let you know the scope of the work. It sounds like you may be able to get away with splicing wires, but replacing the entire switch is not too difficult. The part runs in the mid-to-high $60 range.
