Can the Wiper Location be Adjusted?

[Ed243]

First rain in a long time in Arizona so I finally got to use the giant wiper. The wiper worked well pushing the rain off. Unfortunately the wiper arm does not go completely back to vertical. Is there an adjustment that can easily be made? SC is 2 hrs away. April '25 build date.

It sure can, when my wiper motor went in for a fix last year they did a half ass job and it looked like yours.. My OCD was off the charts since the Wiper was in my field of view when I drove..

Schedule an appointment and get them to adjust the wiper, took about an hour..

Got it scheduled. I was hoping there was something simple like turning an adjustment screw, but after finding the service manual I'm going to have the service center reset the arm.

You get to spend 4 hours in your truck?

I’m jealous tbh

Pic looks like the correct location they say due to aerodynamics so don't expect them to make it too straight. Mine straights quite a bit when off, but then moves into that spot >30 mph, and of course during rain stays more ready also.

Don't let the SC gaslight you about this, it's easily fixable. I had the same issue after my wiper motor recall replacement, but didn't have it prior. I brought it back and insisted they fix it. Took about 20 minutes and now my wiper sits in the correct position, even after hitting >30mph (it shifts very slightly, like half an inch).

Wrong, have them fix it, mine sits at almost 90 degrees. I dont see it at all, even when it does the little twitching sequence..

Thanks everyone. I think they can move the arm over one notch on the spline without it going too far the other way. I've got an appointment this coming Thursday.
