'00 Explorer Rear Window Wiper

[dirtalliance]

this is a stupid question but my rear window wiper thing sits a lil low & it is below the window even when its resting on the little plastic part... It hits when I wipe the rear windows & I think It should be a little higher... stupid question.. maybe someone knows what i mean haha... can anyone take pics of there rear window when its just sitting?

thanks

Mine is down on the painted part when its off. If it wasn't, you could not open the glass. What is yours hitting?

Mine does the same thing, except sometimes it gets pinched between the glass and the window, so some paint is missing at the tip of the wiper on the hatch. It also makes quiet a bang when you first turn it on, most ppl are like what the hell was that?

Hmm....I just replaced the wiper blade and the arm its in on mine. Someone (previous owner??) had warped it to put a new blade in. There is no paint missing though. I can't see where it ever rubbed on anything.

I don't hear a bang, but then again I don't hear very well in a vehicle, even with my cochlear implant. I can't even begin to comment on that part. No one has said anything to me about it yet, so we shall see.

I do not use my rear wiper - but does make noise when it "parks" back into its place.

it makes the noise when it hits the winodw but what you said makes sense... you wouldnt be able to open the rear window wo it being on the body... I just thought maybe It should be smoother so it doesnt hit and make a weird noice when it "parks itself" but i guess not haha
