Angry Rear wiper

I have a '99 4Dr, and the rear wiper keeps getting stuck under the glass. It doesn't seem to sit on the rest correctly. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Thanks

Me too

I have the same problem. I think we probably need to buy a new rear wiper assembly from Ford. I have a 98 4 dr and mine gets stuck under the glass, doesn't sit in the rest properly, and doesn't touch the glass when it wipes. Essentially it does nothing!
Any ideas?

I found out that the dealership replaced the rear wiper motor before I bought the truck from them. I'm taking it in for service today and I'm going to make them fix it, along with a short list of other issues.....

I think, from looking at it, that the wiper arm is not installed correctly, but I'll find out when I pick it up this afternoon and let you know what they say.
