rear windshield wiper not making full contact?

[beamertruck]

Soo as the title states the rear windshield wiper isnt making full contact, i tried white liithium, afterwards tried PB blast which made a bit of a difference, gone through 3 wiper blades to see if maybe its the blade. I may try replacing the arm, its just weird because it makes full contact up until the left side of the windshield where it only wpes the inner part of the windshield. Not a huge deal but it is kinda annoying.

You need to lube the hinge with an Amsoil product.
You can fix anything with bailing wire, duct tape or Amsoil!

EDIT: try Amsoil.

Just delete the wiper. My arm was fine, spring wasnt binding or anything, put a brand new blade on and left a huge unswept section in the middle.

I deleted the wiper last year and plugged the hole and haven't looked back.

Might just do that, im gonna mix a quart of the ATF and acetone and see if that helps it otherwise replace the arm. If it still doesnt do anything il just delete it and rain x it lol.

That's what I do, clay the windows, polished and Rain-X, people scoff at the idea but just think about how much you REALLY use the wiper, do you make a swipe just because you have it?

The truth may surprise you, I don't miss mine at all or ever feel the need to use it, if my window is so dirty I can't see out of it I'm sure the glass and/or car is due for a cleaning.

Yeah thats a good point, was nice is the winter tho lol

The hinge where the wiper can bend, inspect it closely. It's likely brown due to rust. Spray liberally with wd 40 and amsoil while you move it back and forth. Should do the trick. You need to use a lot of amsoil, maybe order $100 worth or more for free shipping

Wd-40 wont work as well as PB blast or a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone. Dont worry im using Amsoil ATF lol, btw it was funny when gunnyglow said it, loses its zing when its repeated.
