Subject:      Floppy Wiper arm, is there a fix?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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
