2009-2010 Rear Wiper Cap

Post by peacock »

The cap for the rear wiper went missing on my 09 Vibe. I was getting my oil changed at the local Toyota dealer and decided to order one for a 09 Matrix. Guess what? It fits.

This is one I never got. My 04 snaps on in four places and the wiper can be lifted with the cap in place. The 09 has to have the cap popped up to lift the wiper and the cap can just pop off and lost.

Why in the world... Oh yeah, it's just like the little compartment door to the left of the steering column, the 04 just opens, no latch, just friction. The 09, fancy spring release lever. Grab for the hood latch wrong and...$65. It's all about the money in replacement parts. Especially through GM.

I did manage to fix mine (compartment door) . Drilled a hole through it sideways and used the 1/8 drill bit as a pivit rod for the parts. Did not return the spring though. I couldn't get it to fit in again but the door opens and closes.

Old story about 04 Fusion Orange car. At 3 years old the blinker switch went out, blinked only on left side. This is a $3-$8 part in an old car. At Toyota dealer it is $60 plus tax and instalation...through that same left side compartment...$135 total. Oh I went off that day. They did coment that they'd never had one go bad for them before.
2004 Fusion Orange, bought new R.I.P. 2009 Carbon Grey 2.4, bought new. 2004 Neptune bought used-2013
