I went through a car wash and I didn't notice they forgot to tape down rear wiper. A few days later when raining, I noticed the rear wiper assembly appears rotated 180 degrees. Any tips/pointers on how I might fix this myself? (see video). Feel free to laugh... I did when I first walked around and saw it in action.

Viagra?

Sorry. You should be able to lift eh cover where the shaft is attached to the wiper assembly by the glass and just reposition and tighten the nut/bold

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by prying off the cover at the base of the wiper, loosening the 13mm nut a bit and adjusting postion of wiper. Then tightening nut.

If my fix lasts more than 4 hours, I will be sure to contact a doctor :)

Thanks @mkg3 for the help!
