Rear Wiper, not touching window

[unpredictable1]

Guys, my rear wiper on my 93 Eddie Bauer refues to touch down with all of the blade.

How would i fix this? How would I remove? bend the arm?

anyone know?

thanks,

leo

jim, is it legal in CA to drive with that "custom" front end on your explorer. here in PA, it's not legal. do you drive your explorer daily?

 

[jimbo74]

technically yes...... sssshhhh....dont tell...... i do drive it everyday... probably about 70 miles per day........ got 3k on it since i made it useable...... i bought all the parts now i just need $1100 do get all the work done... then another $500 to get my duff bumper, billet grill and clear corners......

I had the same problem and after replacing the blade and it did not help I just bent the arm and now it works great. I did that about a year ago and is still working fine so go for it. I did it in little bends at a time so it took me about five times to get it wright.

I had the same problem, I tried new wiper blade, tried bending the arm, even tried a new arm. I think the tailgate is messed up or something because of after buying a brand new spankin arm, they had the exact same problem.
