Are you saying that the blade doesn't stay on the glass at speed so you
don't get the water removed, but it still sweeps just fine?  If so, then you
have a weak spring and it's time for new arms.

If it sweeps partially or moves on the post, I've had good results putting
in a piece of sanding mesh that's used for drywall sanding around the shaft
when they get stripped.

Subject: Floppy Wiper arm, is there a fix?

I have been suffering of a floppy drivers side wiper. I'm not sure why this
is. I'm using the same type of blades on both arms, but the passenger side
does not float away from the windshield at speed. I have tried bending the
arm a bit, that helped, but we are back to this "floating" on the park
position.

Can someone provide an explanation and a fix?

I was thinking to buy the new "fancy" (price ones) type wiper blades that
seem more aerodynamic, but I don't just want to fork over the $30 bucks and
still have the same floppy situation occur.

Thanks,
Tony
