They must all do this as this is a much talked about problem. I bent the arm of mine to allow the wiper to clean most of the window.

My 199 rear window wiper quit but i can turn it on and go back and wiggle it and it starts working. I was in a site for a fix for the ford radio display and they were also selling a fix for the rear window as well. It was just the instructions because they said no parts were needed. Anyone know what that is?
