Rear Wiper

[joeyo]

For those of you who have a rear wiper, how well does yours work?

When I have it on only the bottom half of the wiper blade touches the window. I bought one of those metal clips and that didn't help any.

Maybe the spring in the wiper arm needs to be replaced?

Hmm maybe I bought the wrong type of wiper blade? I bought whatever was listed in the book at the store.

(Yah, I've fixed almost everything so now I'm starting to nitpick at the car)

I have only used mine once. The rubber feel off and the metal arm scratched my window. I never turn it on now.

I'll give that a shot. You should have seen the wiper blade when I bought the car. I think the dirt was holding it together.

I should have actually bent it when I took it off to paint it. Maybe I'll do it this weekend when I paint the front ones.

checked fuse, still good

Yank the wiper arm off and turn it on and see if the little knob rotates. Maybe the teeth inside the wiper arm are stripped or something.

put new wiper arm on when i had changed the motor.
