Post Rear Wiper Question

I have noticed that at times the wiper on the back glass will not fully come to rest in the plastic wiper holder sometimes when I cut off the back wiper. Am I doing something wrong? How can I make the wiper fully rest in the groove?

sounds like you need a simple adjustment... take the bottom of the wiper arm (the part that actually sticks in the holder) and rotate it outward around the axis of the wiper arm. This slightly bends the arm and allows it to move where it should. ti doesn't take much, just a little torque on the arm will do.

Question

I noticed just yesterday that my rear-window wiper is not working. This was the first problem I've had with it, and I know that it was working fine last week. So you think the motor's gone??? Any idea how much parts/labor for this?????

sixguy,

You should still be in warranty, or out by not much. If you're in warranty, free!
