Rear wiper partial sweep coverage
My rear wiper doesn't have 100% coverage - there are spots at the top and near the pivot where the blade doesn't make contact with the glass and leaves dirt/rain behind.
The blade itself is nearly new - just replaced last year. And it's still flexible.
The mounting arm appears to still be flexible as well, but perhaps it's too flexible (loose) and not staying in contact.
Anyone else see this problem, and did you replace the arm? Or some other solution?

Yep--replace the arm, mine did the same thing and a new blade did nothing! Once I replaced the arm it was perfect.

A new arm comes with the spring? It's not shown as a separate part, so ... maybe?
