Ok guys I thought I had a bent stock arm (got the car used) so I ordered a replacement on eBay. Still sticks up though and my OCD is killing me. Notice other Prii don’t have this issue. Using toyota hybrid oem wipers as well
Hey I posted in the wrong section this isn’t a V just a regular Prius. Flagging for mods to move sorry
Took a look at mine, the arm is flush with the blade there, no angle (as marked up below). Maybe the arm is bent??
Yea it was like this with the arm on the car AND the replacement. There’s a chance both are bent but I find that unlikely somehow
Maybe remove the whole arm, and the wiper blade, then clamp the end in a vice and try to bend it back? Here's mine for comparison: (Focus is a bit off)
10-15 TOYOTA PRIUS USED FRONT LEFT DRIVER WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM OEM | eBay Same seller I got it from has another one listed, has the same curve in it that mine does but when I put it against the windshield, its almost like the arm sits up too high and creates an angle, but its down as far on the spline/motor portion as it will go.
Never mind. I just went out and bent the arm. The metal is fairly soft anyway, not sure if on purpose, but i was able to tweak it back to normal pretty easily. Can't believe it took this long to figure out lol
