Rear Window Wiper

Does anyone have a problem where the rear window wiper doesn't wipe the window? On my 2001 it doesn't touch the window from the 9 O'clock to 2 O'clock position. Anybody know how to fix it?

Guess nobody has this problem? I looked at it closer last night and nothing seems out of place. But, as the wiper moves towards the top of the window there isn't enough pressure to hold it against the glass.

Usually it is a bent arm. The spring might also be bad. If the spring is good consider bending the arm to make the blade touch the glass. Also make sure you have a good blade. Jim

Tire Rack has new constant pressure wipers that MAY help. I don't want to be the first to try anything.

I have the same problem. Tried bending the arm, no real help. I guess I will look into a new spring.
