The rear wipers do not always return to their cradle, but get "caught up" about 85% back into the crade..I have smoothed out the wear/groove on the cradle and the guide to no avail. Could the motor not have enough juice left to properly return it? When I pull the wiper out and away from the window and let it cycle through, it returns to its proper place ( then I let the wiper back down and it needs lifted into the cradle) Ideas any one?
thanks

this happens to mine a lot. i just stopped using it. id rather have a dirty rear windshield than get pissed off cuz the stupid wiper wont sit right ;)

i took my cradle off one time and accidentally drove off without it. whoooooops! now i have to find another one. mine seemed to work fine while i had it tho

i cant imagine that would be an expensive part from a ford dealership. ive actually considered getting a new one to see if itll help my wiper get seated properly.

The wiper arm might need bending.....try bending it out, then the tip inwards....

try that nut tightening thing that I will be looking to do. As soon as it gets nice and warm(back in the 30's). The temp I dont mind, the expense I do
