    Does this look normal to you guys?

    To me it looks like the wiper isn't fully parked. Can I adjust it?

    Don't want to go to the dealer for something I can just do myself at home

    Kevin, I think they're on splines. With other vehicles, you can remove the wiper and reset it on a notch lower.

    Do you think the dealer will charge you? I ask because your truck is fairly new.

    Could be a bent arm or wiper blade. On my truck if I tap the the mist control the blades come up 3-4" and stop. I don't know if this is correct, but it puts the blades right over the heated part of the windshield.:D Could something similar be going on here?:confused:

    My wiper just started doing this a week ago. Goes all the way down and then bounces up a hair. Also my timer knob for my wiper no longer sets a variable time it's stuck on fast. Fairly annoying.

    i removed the cap, and used a 15mm offset box wrench (maybe 14 i forgot) to remove the wiper. i tried to reindex it down a tooth and its a little better, not parked as far down as the drivers side which still bugs me, but a slight improvement. id like it as far down as possible without hitting the window trim to cut down on noise but it was the closest i could get it...
