Our 87 Vanagon GL has a little "wing/fin" on the arm of the driver side
wiper arm.  As many know, Pacific Northwest is known for it's ugly rain and
wind weather.  Seems to keep the wipers firmly planted on the glass.  Our 81
Vanagon had the same problem that you have until I found an 88 Vanagon in a
local junk yard.  I put it on months ago and I haven't had a problem with it
since.  Even stopped the annoying chattering of the wiper as it wiped the
glass.


Enjoy.
