    I wonder if anyone has any experience with the rear wiper hitting on the down sweep and clicking and clacking because it his the rear window moulding?? If so, how difficult was it to take off and reinstall correctly. It's not like the old american wipers...Thanks

    Its not that hard to adjust. Just take off the cap and loosen the nut. Point the wiper toward the dot that is on the window. The dot may be hard to see but its there. Look for it around the area where the tip of the wiper would be. Once you have it in the position tighten down the nut and put the cap back on. Dont over tighten the nut. When I put a new wiper arm on I only tightened it a little more than finger tight. Maybe another 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. Just enough so that it wont come off during use.

    I did it! popped off the cap, #10 metric wrench to loosen the arm found the "dot" easily and repositioned the wiper. Took me all of 4-5 minutes and I didn't have to take it to the dealer for them to scratch it up. Thanks again, John
