Abstract
In a vehicle wiper device, a retaining portion is formed inside an arm piece at respective areas of a base end side fixing section, a main body, and a leading end side fixing section of the arm piece. A hose is retained by the retaining portion. This thereby enables the hose to be retained to the arm piece without using a retaining member, such as a holder, to retain the hose to the arm piece. Moreover, disposing the hose inside the arm piece enables the hose to be suppressed from being exposed or projecting out from the arm piece. The hose can accordingly be retained in the arm piece without having a detrimental effect on the appearance and while suppressing an increase in cost of the vehicle wiper device.
