A wiper apparatus is disclosed in which a wiper linkage includes a pivot lever connected to a pivot shaft of a wiper arm for wiping a windshield glass of a vehicle, a pivot holder for supporting a pivot shaft, a link rod rotatably connected to the pivot lever, and a crank arm rotatably connected to the link rod. A wiper motor rotates the crank arm and moves the link rod reciprocatively. An elongated supporting pipe is fixed to the vehicle and supports the wiper linkage. A holding member holds the wiper motor to the supporting pipe. The holding member includes a mounting member to which the wiper motor is mounted and a fixing member for fixing the mounting member to the supporting pipe. The fixing member has a plurality of protruding portions which are elongated in a longitudinal direction of the supporting pipe on the inner periphery of the fixing member facing the supporting pipe. Also, each of the plurality of protruding portions provides a weld portion between the fixing member and the supporting pipe.
