Rear wiper

[rihavens]

So I am pretty sure I got the wrong wiper from Amazon. I bought one that was advertised as being for a 5th gen 4runner, but the little plastic thing that sticks off the side to help it kick into the spoiler is on the wrong side. I have to walk behind the vehicle to push it up myself. Am I supposed to move this to the other side? I threw away the old one. I think something is wrong with this.

Hmm … most people just replace the rubber insert.

You can cross-reference what you bought with this Toyota part number: 85242-35050

Don't know if it's wrong, it's been a while since I changed mine. If it's wrong, send it back to Amazon and buy one on-line from a Toyota dealer. The OEM wipers last a long time. Mine was still good at 4 years.

Yeah, it's definitely on the wrong side.
