A wiper system performs operation control on wiper driving electric motors and based on position information about wiper blades and attached to pivot shafts, wherein a learning mode in which a position of the wiper blades is learned to correct blade position information is executed after the wiper blades are attached to the pivot shafts, respectively. In the learning mode, the wiper blades are moved to a prescribed position such as a lower retracted position, and that the wiper blades are located in the prescribed position is detected by such means as a sensor, a video image, and contact with a jig. If the wiper blades are detected to be in the prescribed position, the blade position information is corrected to a value corresponding to the position.

A wiper system for a vehicle is provided. The wiper system includes a driving assembly. The wiper system further includes a supplementary wiper having a first end that is coupled to a first pivot point of the driving assembly. When the wiper system is activated, the driving assembly is configured to swing the supplementary wiper about the first pivot point from a resting position to an extended position. The supplementary wiper is configured to be statically disposed at the extended position to prevent water from passing over one of two A-pillars of the vehicle to a side window of the vehicle. When the wiper system is deactivated, the driving assembly is configured to stow the supplementary wiper back from the extended position to the resting position.
