windshield wiper issue - Toyota Yaris Forums

whiteghetto · 02-12-2009, 12:40 PM

my driver side wiper is 'shuddering' and 'streaking' on the top part of the arc.
I have already replaced the blade.
what else could be causing this?

It appears that the blade is not turning over properly and starts to 'hop'

go to toyota there is an issue on the wiper springs or gear..they should be able to replace it free..

do I have to go to the same dealer I purchased the car from?

news to me when did that become a north american issue?far as i know it was due to washer nozzle failure and wiper cowl replacement.

mine streaks at the top left corner where the wiper flips and come back. My problem was the frameless wiper does not put enough pressure on this particular part of the wiper.

Are you using the OEM wipers?
