Rear wiper goes the wrong way
I have a 2011 Lexus ct. This is bizarre and I don’t even know how it’s possible that this happened but when I turn on my rear wiper it goes down and bumps over my tailgate instead of wiping the rear window. Maybe it’s on backwards or something I couldn’t get it off when I unscrewed the bolt so I just figured I would ask if anyone knows wats going on here.
I am trying to take the wiper arm off to try to put it back on correctly but can not seem to figure out how tf the arm comes off and can’t find any videos or articles if anyone can help that’d be awesome

it's probably corroded on. just pry it up and wiggle as you do. some lube may help. did someone work on your car before? thats not a part that just gets loose/off track by itself without outside intervention.
on my car i deleted the wiper so i'll never have to deal with this.

To remove the arm and see the motor, you need to remove the panel from the inside of the hatch. So you approach this from the back of the hatch, not the outside of the car. Open the hatch and that panel needs to be removed (if you are looking to take the arm off)
it sounds like the motor was installed upside down. The possibility of this? I dont know. I havnt actually done it and am new to the car. But thats a weird one.
