When using my rear wiper to wash the rear window, the wiper does not touch the window. I have to manually push wiper on to the window; but when the wiper seats itself after I am finished it goes back into original position back out of alignment. Vehicle is an 86 4 Runner.

Thank you and please help!

 

take the whole wiper arm assembly off, clean and lube it up. failing that, pick up a new arm, the spring inside will have more strength in it to keep the wiper blade against the rear glass.

What he said!

Mine did not touch the window either when I picked up my Runner. However I lubed it and the manually moved it back and forth, back and forth, and now it seats just fine on the window.

good luck!

 

where do you get a replacement for the rear wiper! i went to Advance Auto yesturday to try and get one and they had it on the wiper computer but no where in the store!

 

thank you very much for your responses i will try lubricating everything when i get home i hope it works
