We’re in our way to Alaska. In biggish seas today with water breaking onto the windows, the starboard windshield wiper suddenly narrowed its swing, decreasing the area it clears.

Thoughts on how we can fix this?
 
after you fix it get some rainx and you will never use the wiper again.

We just replaced one of our wiper motors. It was going slow and clearly needed to be replaced. When looking at the instructions on the new motor there are settings to adjust the amount of swing you need. The factory parts dept should be able to tell you the model of wiper motor used on your 2023 model. The motors aren’t that expensive. In our case we replaced one motor and then had our other one adjusted. We didn’t realize that one of ours was able to be adjusted all along. Now both work great.
