I'm really glad you asked this question because I was about to ask the same
thing. I made the mistake of going through a gas station car wash. Well, the
damn spinning wheel thingy ripped my driverside wiper blade up so it stood
verticaly when not in use. I gently pulled it back to position but now it
only makes it about half way up when I used it and then just drops lose down
below the windshield line. I can move it to where it is tight but then it is
to high. THan't the last time I make that mistake!

Thank you,

Jeff Lincoln

Vanagonites,
        I recently had the opportunity to drive through a real rainstorm
down here in Arizona and quickly realized my driver side windshield wiper
wasn't functioning up to par. It would stall out as if it didn't seem to
have the necessary strength to complete the full wipe. Is there a bolt that
just needs tightening or is this more serious?
