After 13,000 miles my rear wiper is working great. I didn't use it much in the beginning and it didn't very well then either. I found that the more I used it, the better it worked. I make a point of using it when ever I can to keep it limber. Like other things in life I guess.
I rarely use mine because it seems like the rear glass is made of butter. It scratches real easy. I noticed the scratches after using my plastic ice scraper.
Rob! What's going on? Like my new screen name? haha.. I've had the same problem w/my rear window since it was new. Send me an email sometime so we can catch up.. Later,
I have a 04' Limited 4Runner and my frigin rear-windshield wifer stoppedd working as well. I checked the fuse and it appeared fine and I checked to see if anything was blocking the unit. Loos like I have to take it back to the Toyota Delalership... Bummer /craig
I thought it was just me. My 04 Limited rear wiper just stopped working too. Only used it a few times. Anyone have any luck getting it fixed? I haven't brought it in yet.
Hey guys, Make sure your rear window is all the way up. If not the computer will not let it work. My rear wiper works flawless. I wish the delay time was longer though.
When I first turn it on, it acts like it's in high mode (even though it's in low) then when I flip it up to high it stays the same speed but then starts actually touching the glass. Then I can slow it back down to low and have it go a bit slower.
Had the issue of wiper not working, checked fuse everything looked okay. Just reviewed this forum. Went outside to make sure the rear window was up, bingo! Wiper works! Saved myself a trip to the dealership.
THe rear wiper on my 03 has never cleaned the window. I see there is a TSB on the 2003 wiper arm.....it was easily bent and replaced with a stouter arm. I need that, as mine completely snapped off!
Rear wiper is worthless on my new 4 runner with less than 5000 miles. Anyone have this problem. Used it maybe 6 times worked great for the first 5.
yes I have this problem but I have 80k on my 4Runner. Any fix? I can't view the TSB. Is it 2003 only? Should be considered safety equipment and repairable under warranty.
