STOP!!! MIS-COMMUNICATION (...What we have here is a failure to communicate) Don't bend the arm 'up and down' in a manner that would add or relieve pressure on the glass. Hook the cresent wrench on the flat part of the arm and ROTATE the arm so that the blade angle changes along the longitudinal axis of the wiper. I guess this would more correctly be called a 'twist' rather than a 'bend.' It will make sense when you go out to do it. Hint: place the wrench as close to the blade end of the wiper arm as possible so as to give the maximum amount of arm length for the twisting to occur. Let me know if this still seems futz'd up. I hate trying to describe things verbally-- if you could just see my hands....
