HB has strut replacement
The gas struts on my 2007 hatchback are worn out, so I’m looking at replacing them. At rockauto.com they have several options, and they are all labeled as either with or without a windshield wiper. My question is why does that matter? Is there really a difference in size between models with or without a rear wiper?

To my knowledge ALL Yaris hatchbacks have a rear wiper.

There was a trim level that did not have a wiper. My guess is they are offering struts of different strengths to accommodate the weight of wiper motor, or the absence thereof.

Because the 2 pounds a wiper adds requires a different shock valving...Becuz racecar.
