Default Does anybody know if the Windshield wiper supposed to be like this? How to fix?

Hello everyone,

Can yall tell me if this is normal? It's driving me a bit nuts and I'm not sure if it was always like that. Because the driver side one is flush. Can somebody tell me how to fix it if it isn't normal?

Thanks

This happens to me once and a while. Honestly, imo (even though I'm very picky about things) just leave it. It comes and goes. No need to go out and buy new wipers!

Sometimes mine on the IS350 2006 looks like this and then it fixes itself.

This is a well known issue on our IS especially on older years.

Its in SNOW MODE

Check your manual for SNOW MODE VS NORMAL MODE

A simple Push down (you might have to use some effort) will remedy the situation

Mine came like that, and then i pushed it down and you will hear it clic

Are you saying this will happen when we put in snow mode and then it won't go back to normal until you clik it down?

Interesting.

The IS does not have a snow mode or anything like that, changes are if it is in the wrong position it has slipped on the spline. If you haven't had the wiper nut recall done you should check into it, they will ream out the arms, replace the nuts and make sure they are torqued correctly.

The wipers should never sit like that.

Does anybody know if the Windshield wiper supposed to be like this? How to fix?-yy2mdk7.png
