issue/question
 

quick question, so my rear windshield wiper seems to not be tight against the window. i've retightened the bolt that holds the arm in place, just wondering if anyone experienced this and if so is it the arm or the blade. also is it possible that the arm or the actual motor ending is bad if the arm ever spun around its own axis? maybe theres a thread on it?

Have you tried replacing the blade?

Replace it with a Bosch Icon blade!

ill try. thing is feels like the arm is very stiff and when it moves it almost lifts off but ill try the icon blade thanks will let you know

take the wiper arm off and work the spring back and forth with WD 40, sometimes they seize up because age and weather, and then put new blade on and that should cure it!

:iagree: Just be carful not to get any on the windscreen. Its a bit tough getting wd40 off glass.

M, does your driver's side blade leave a place un-wiped going back into the "park" position??

My passenger's side blade does, not my driver's side.

doh, I wouldn't mind too much if it was the passenger side, but my pass. side is fine :( it's my driver's blade that's the problem :(

hijack over ........... sorry!

There is an upgrade to the rear winsheild wiper arm.

Do a search to find the upgrade to the metal arm.

Mine has this problem too. It doesn't seem to streak well. I just haven't looked into replacing the arm but I know that is what it is.

I got a Bosch blade too.
