Rear Wiper "Coverage" Problem Solved

[Onwrdigo]

Through trial and error, here is what I have found out:

When you order the '07-'11 Wiper Arm from Toyota, you need to also order the little black cover that goes over the mounting bolt at the bottom of the arm. The cover on the '12 and newer years does not fit the new arm you are going to buy from the older Yaris. They sell that part separately for the older Yaris.

Also, the actual wiper part (the part with the rubber blade that connects to the arm) is not interchangeable with a '12 or newer "factory" blade. So you cannot just take your "factory" blade from your '12 or '13 Yaris and fit it to the older style arm. You need to go to an auto parts store and get the aftermarket blade refill (and they are the same size no matter what year of Yaris you drive).....

Get either a Triico Exact Fit; Size 12A "or" I have found out that you can go bigger and get even more coverage with the same brand in the size of: "14A" (and it fits beautifully). "Wow" what a difference in visibility while driving in the rain. It improves it even more than using the 12A-inch blade on the '07-'11 style arm and is 100% improved over the original set-up the car came with from the factory. And it does not void any warranty at all.

Hope this has helped those looking for the rear visibility solution while in the rain.
