Aug 31, 2005

I was unable to find a related thread for this topic. I thought there was an old one.

Anyways, having issue of the drivers side wiper leaving an area unwiped at eye level?

New wipers fixes this problem, but for only two days

Prius (Gen 4) :: 2016 - Wiper Blade Replacement?

Not real happy with stock blades. Leaves streaks. Bought right size Goodyear hybrid at Costco. But it seems the push button adapter will not work. Toyota has always used J hook before. So now they switch to push button but apparently some non standard version. Checked Rain-x, Bosch, Goodyear sites. Nobody lists 2016 Prius.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Rear Wiper Blade Removal?

I figured out how to remove the front wiper blades you lift the clip then slide them off but the rear wiper blade I cannot figure out how to remove from the arm.

Mazda :: After Motor Replacement Wiper Blade Stuck?

I have replaced the wiper motor and the wiper blades stop vertical on the wind shield. Readjusting the position of the wipers does not work. The wipers wipe the hood when that is done. I have done something wrong.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Right Side Windshield Wiper Blade Motor Replacement

Is this easy to do? I can get the part fairly cheaply, but if I can save on the labor I would like to. I bought my prius new in 2005, and I still have it, even though I also have a tacoma. Because the Prius is my "second vehicle" now, I am trying to save on repairs.

2013 Toyota Avalon / Intermittent Wiper Blade Loud Click?

I have a 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Touring Model.

The vehicle is great, however the clicking noise from the wiper relay is obnoxious. It is only when the intermittent wiper setting is applied that the noise is apparent. You can also duplicate it by manually moving the wiper knob up and down. I showed the dealer this twice, and both times they say it is normal. I will take a video later today and post it to show.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Wiper Blade Winter / Summer Mode On ES350

I have a 07 ES 350. Several days ago, I went to auto car wash without turning off the auto wiper blade. When I came out, I saw the wiper blades were higher than before. Then I loosen the nuts, and put them a little lower trying to make them back to original position.

But now I realized that it does have Summer/Winter mode. Is there any way to make sure which mode is it now? Should I pull down the blade after starting the engine, or before?

Nissan - Maxima :: Driver Side Wiper Blade Squeaks When Windshield Wet

2002 Nissan Maxima w/ 134,000 mi. Driver side wiper blade squeaks mercilessly when windshield wet. I've: changed blades twice; cleaned blades & windshield thoroughly with alcohol; w/ ammonia; with vinegar, for each using paper towels and also tried with newspaper; cleaned windshield dry with baking soda. Baking soda seemed to work at first but soon returned to previous squeakiness. It's driving me nuts and the wet weather is around the corner!

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2006 RX330 - Rear Wiper Blade Not Gripping Well To The Window

What could the cause of the rear wiper on an '06 RX330 not gripping well to the window be? Could it need a new spring, or could the entire assembly need to be changed? What troubleshooting can be done in this situation?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Driver Side Windshield Wiper Blade Position Settings

I recently purchased a '09 LS460 SWB. I noticed the driver side windshield wiper arm sitting up high enough to be in my field of vision.

I'm aware that there is a "winter mode" that allows you to raise the arm up a few inches, but from everything I've read....usually the driver and passenger side arm raise together.

In my case, my passenger side arm sits nice and low near the hood, while the dirver is sitting an inch or two higher.

I tried pushing the driver arm down (with success), but after cycling the windshield wipers once, the driver side arm goes back to the higher position.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: RX450H Wiper Blade Replacement For Driver Side And Rear Window

I bought replacement blades for Drivers side and rear window.

I'm half-way mechanical... OK , maybe 1/4. It appears that the blades themselves are not replaceable; only the refill (squeegee) portion is. is this correct?

Front-drivers-side actually looks like the complete blade may come off, but it's not obvious how it releases.

The rear appears to have no way to easily remove the complete blade.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Passenger Side Wiper Blade Leaving About 2 Inch Wide Arcing Streak

The far end of my passenger side wiper has been leaving about a 2 inch wide arcing streak lately. I figured I needed new inserts, so I replaced them yesterday. The passenger side wiper is still streaking in the exact same place. I know I put the new inserts in correctly, including installing the little metal clip at the end of the insert. What could be the problem? Could I need a new wiper blade? Do those things go bad?

Avalon 2005-12 :: Driver Side Wiper Blade Lifts At Speed On Down Stroke - Tension Spring Soft?

We took my 08 Touring down to Florida for our vacation, and while she performed great- {average 28-32mpg @ 70ish mph} -she fell shy of expectations when we hit a few light rains. At speeds above 70 the drivers wiper blade would clear on the up stroke but not on the down stroke....yes, 1st thoughts are go slower, but that isn't a real answer for me.

Before leaving I installed new brakes {rotors/pads/hardware} all around, new Michelin tires {all 5} and "new wiper blades" {rain-X}. The new brakes were very useful going thru the stop and go traffic in Atlanta, the new tires were very useful in the twisties of Tennesee's hills...but the wipers had me getting lapped often on the way back home due to the lifting issue above 70, so I kept to 65-70mph.

The way I see it, it's either the wiper blades not having enough "ramp" on the blade for the wind to push it down at speed, or the wiper arm tension spring is going soft.

My car is an '08 with 154k...{no leaks/motor still has great power/went 3400 miles and she didn't burn a drop of oil!}.

Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger Side Wiper Blade Hitting Side Of Windshield Randomly

My passanger side blade has been hitting the side of my windshield randomly since the car was new. Wasn't able to replicate the issue at the dealer so I was pulling the blade off last night to investigate and broke the small square retaining clip (Red arrow). Do the clip assembly (Blue arrow) can be purchased separately or if I have to buy a whole new wiper.

Touareg :: How Far Does The Rear Wiper Travel

How far does the rear wiper go? Full half circle; 180 degrees? Or is it less? It seems to me the couple times I used it, it made a full 180 degree sweep. After having the rear window replaced, it now only goes about 140-150 degrees. Stops at 10 o'clock position and returns.

Touareg :: Cannot Activate Rear Wiper?

I can activate the rear wiper spray, but cannot seem to activate the wiper itself. I am hoping that this is user error (misunderstanding owner's manual) rather than a broken rear wiper assembly.

Touareg :: Car Won't Operate Windshield Wiper And Radio

I took delivery of a new 2004 Touareg V8 with nav system radio, yesterday. On the way home, in the rain, the front windshield wipers stopped working as well as sound from the radio (controls, menus, etc... were still illuminated) This is not very comforting. Windshield wipers are quite necessary in the rain. The general technology behind windshield wipers and radios would seem to be mature to the point that reliability need not be questioned. As a new owner having just been through an hour of instruction on operating this piece of machinery, I felt somewhat inadequate that I could not operate the windshield wipers and radio. I said to myself, it can't be this hard! My wife and I became frustrated at each other to the point of my speculation on who would get the vehicle in the divorce.

When I finally made my way into my driveway, I decided to check the wiper fuse because it was most necessary, rain being forecast for the next several days.

I pulled the 30A fuse for the wipers and found it to be OK. I then replaced it. Behold, both the wipers and radio began to work. (The manual does not say anything about the radio being connected to the wiper fuse) Case closed, I thought. 5 minutes later they went out again. I pulled the fuse, replaced it and eureka, they began to work again. I drove the vehicle today for about 30 minutes at which time they ceased to function once more.

Touareg :: 2006 - Wiper Blades Seem To Be Streaking

Having issue with these wiper blades? My wife's touareg has less than 15k, but the wiper blades are streaking and otherwise less than useless. I have had the same wiper blades on my jetta for over 2 years with no issue. I have tried cleaning the wipers several times, but to no avail. Before I shell out $60+ on some wiper blades. I know I am gonna probably gonna have to get the new wipers.
