Rear Wiper Sag

[Psyko_323]

What's up guys. My rear wiper blade is sagging just a bit that when it's at the starting position (off) it's just barely touching the paint where the glass ends. Wiper works fine but it's off just by a bit. I removed the 13mm nut but i couldn't wiggle the wiper off. I can upload a photo tomorrow. Anyone else experience this before?

I think it's just friction fit. Get a 2 jaw puller, you can probably rent one from Auto Zone or Oreillys, pull it off and reinstall it properly lined up.

What’s the purpose of a rear wiper delete?
Looks?
Personally, I would want to be able to see out my back window during rain or snow.

Not all of us live where it snows and I’ve never needed a rear wiper in my entire life due to some rain. I did the first wiper delete back in 2020 and haven’t missed it once. I also deleted them on my GTI’s and don’t need them there either. Any perceived need is more than offset by the much cleaner look.

Honestly, in the winter the wiper gets iced over with snow after using the rear window defog and is barely usable. In extreme cold temps as in -30 C or lower I have even had the wiper blade snap off trying to clean it.
Just plain sucks!

I know dirt accumulates badly on the back of these windows, not just snow or rain.
I personally can’t stand to look out a dirty back window.

Yea…never had that issue either. After 107K miles I think I would have noticed.

Must be nice having good weather all year long and not have to worry about that rear glass getting dirty.
I agree it does look cleaner deleted but where I live, it’s not an option to delete.

Must live in a concrete jungle
Our roads here are dusty asphalt,
Red dirt, caliche dust etc
Having the ability to flush some stuff off is a plus
I would prefer to just use squirter vice the wiper swing..
We need a high pressure wide array nozzle
