TOYOTA Prius HSD - Manual (Page 28)

Rear Blade To pivot the wiper arm upward, all you have to do is remove the clamp. It is the 2.5 inch (6 cm)
piece of flexible plastic at the base, where it connects to the window. Just pull both sides out and
slide it toward you. With that plastic off, the access to the blade is now possible. You can lift the
arm up to get at the underside of it.
This photo shows that plastic clamp removed (the black object in the lower-right corner) and the
arm of the rear wiper lifted up.

Fuel Door
Lubricate After a long enough duration, it will eventually become difficult to open. Exposure to sand, salt,
moisture simply causes the existing lubrication to be less effective. Just a few squirts of WD-40 is
all it takes to maintain/restore easy opening.
If you do discover that it is jammed shut, just recruit someone to help (since the distance between is
too great for one person). Lifting the lever by the driver’s seat and pushing on the back (left side)
of the fuel door at the same time will dislodge it. There’s no need for any type of tool; very little
pressure is required.
