    Oooh look, another mod.....

    That is the rear wiper cover. Technically it’s on the lift gate, but you don’t need lift gate help. You need wiper help!

    I need help, that's for certain lol. I have searched both and come up empty each time. Even exploded views don't show this part.

    I think this is a dumb/silly question to ask, but I am going to ask anyway: Is this a real problem for you? I mean, is it rattling/vibrating or making noise while you’re driving?

    Does it sag or hang lower than it should?

    If you answered no to all the questions above I would leave it alone. There is a small 10MM (I believe that’s the size) screw/bolt in there. Get a socket and try to tighten all the bolts/screws and see if that fixes it.

    It rattles constantly except on the smoothest roads.

    Embarrassingly, it was hard for me to get a grasp of where this is from your pic and vid but I think I've got it.

    Is this it? Part # 76893-35050 8/2009- 1/2011 ($46-ish) 76893-35051 2/2011- current ($60-ish). Can't imagine what the difference might be. Put in your VIN if you order just to be sure. It is in the body parts category...

    Cool. A different source says the 35051 is for '12 and up vs 35050 for '09 to '11. I'd definitely double check if you go that route.

    I can't tell what holds that on. Maybe a clip or retainer behind it?

    That I don't know yet. Feels like clips on the outside edge.

    Smother it in Gorilla Glue and slap it in place. That way, it will NEVER ever move.
