My 2019 passenger wiper arm just started screwing up it works normally but sometimes it just goes up an inch and drops back down, i will be getting the dealer to change the wiper transmission but is this a common thing on the 4/4.5 gen like it was on the 3rd gen? I know they changed the wiper transmission from the 3rd gens but i thought they fixed that issue

My driver's side one was all over the place a couple weeks ago. Turns out the nut holding the arm on was loose.

I was thinking that may be the issue as they are only tapered I'm going to try tightening it tomorrow

Seems like a lot of work to take it to the dealer for a 2 minute job.

Did you guys with loose wipers have squeaks?

I found out my squeak over bumps that I thought was in the dash, was actually my driver side wiper.

I got rid of the squeaks by shooting a little silicone lube on the wiper stem and under the foam bootie

I didn’t really think about them being loose, thanks. going to check the tightness of them today.

No squeaks either.
