Rear wiper drooping?

So I have unfortunately gotten a drooping rear wiper. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Motor still works, wipes as needed but does not lock back up in place.

Any assistance you guys can give would be great!

 

Did you replace the arm with aftermarket? It might be missing the foot.

 

Nope, still factory, just started to happen a week ago.

 

Sounds like it skipped a tooth in the spline or gear lash.

 

Are you near a dealership? Warranty for sure.

 

Have one in town, already made an appointment for March 5th!

 

Is this thread similar to what is happening with yours?

Very similar!! Thank you so much! I’m glad it’s not just me who has dealt with this, definitly goi g back to the dealership for the warranty coverage!

 

4 members chimed in on that thread, reporting experiencing the same drooping wiper. one of which was @Emmantik, and he was the only one who posted a fix. No one else bothered to respond later.
