Yup, and look completely different than the Yaris blade/arm

Could you use a Murci blade on the Yaris? And from what I have seen the base of the Yaris wiper arm is the only thing noticeably different from the Murcie...

Just found out that a 2012 Subaru Trezia has an articulated wiper arm also. Don't have good pics of the Subura but here you go...

Just to keep the members all on the same page when working on their wiper systems, the wiper is called an "Articulated" wiper arm.  It can be set up to work any blade angle and "Park" horizontally at the bottom of your windshield.  Jim

Just have to add a hook for another blade either in the middle if it fits or outside

I found out from John Watson that the arm on the Yaris is 22” and that the wiper blade is 28” which are the same dimensions as the original murcie’s.  He has an original Murcielago arm and he went to compare it to the Yaris one at a dealership and said that they look really close to each other.

No prob Tallon. I would think any Toyota motor would work, plenty of those around on e-bay. Have to do a little more investigative work to see if it will.

Thanks Curt  ::headbang
I guess we could make it run off some other motor instead? I don't know how these work. Arm isn't too expensive, though, and comes with the washer  ::thumbup

I am curious what everyone is doing if they are using Fiero based kits for the wiper arm installation since the brake fluid reservoir is in the way. Also how is everyone installing the wiper motor.
The reason I ask... I have some wiper motor relocation kits that I found in my stuff that I purchased from IFG if any one is intrested.

Some finished pictures. I made a carbon fiber deflector by laying up the CF on 2.5" ABS plastic tubing and then trimming to shape. It is not a replica deflector but I think it looks ok.
