Rear wiper motor

I noticed that my rear wiper wasn't parking all of the way down and gets caught in the glass when opened or closed. I can grab ahold of the lower portion of the arm and move it around like it is a ball socket. I don't remember it doing this in the past. Can someone else check theirs and see if it does the same thing or fixed with no movement.

Thank you
bdp

You don't mention what year, but it's not supposed to do that. On my '92, it has developed a little play in the rear wiper, and I'm hoping that I can open the back and tighten it up. In the mean time, I try to minimize use of the rear wiper.

Sorry, 1999 and I'm pretty sure it didn't do that before.

My 97 does not do that either. I was having a problem like you describe and had to open up the rear tailgate and then look in there. I had to loose the bolts for the wiper motor and then reseat it (the third point is just a press in and it had popped out one time when I got the wiper caught on the glass). Once I put it back in place properly it worked fine.
