Push the right hand stalk away from you to start intermittent wipe. It'll continue to wipe until you push it away again.
Turning the ignition off also stops the wipe. :smiley:

As above, though there is a possibility that you have broken wires where the loom passes from the roof, to the tailgate, check that both number plate lamps are working, and the heated rear screen is also working...
Broken wire should be repaired with solder and heat shrink insulation

I always thought it was a stupid switch design, right back to when I first drove a Mk2 in 1988.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
