Hi, I know this is something that has been discussed before bu t i cna't fiond the thread

My rear wiper cleans a bit of the screen, the bit nearest the motor, really well but leaves the rest..

How do i get around this?

Cheers

Some people bend the arm slightly to increase the pressure on the window. Check the pivot isn't rusted so it is not making good contact to the screen. It may just require a new blade (21" if my memory serves me right). Just changed mine and it made a huge improvement.

Thanks Simon, just got new wipers and blades on it (nice chromes 8) )

Will see about the gentle bend technique when the rain stops...
