    Anyone encountered this before?? First picture is how it looks now and second is how it supposed to look. It has some play in it and wiper won’t stow away all the way under the wing. Wiper works perfectly fine. But just a pet peeves of mine when something doesn’t look right..

    Does the rear window still go down?
    From the factory it is not meant to go down with the wipers in "action". If it does go down it has to be the mounting as mentioned above.
    Please, let us know what you find.
    Good luck,

    It goes down. I tried to adjust from the 10mm nut but that didn’t to anything.
    Which mount are you guys talking about? The one from the wiper or the one attached to the car?

    also, when it’s all the way up, I can shake it and it’s loose. Could it be the motor??

    Currently stock; MODS coming soon.
    If it’s under warranty, I’d take it in to the dealer.
