Windshield Wiper Help

Thought i'd throw this out, find out if someone else has this problem. My right windshield wiper doesnt have any preassure on the bottom of it. So it doesnt even hit the glass, and it irritates me. Any ideas on how to fix it? I tried replacing the wipers but no dice.

maybe try bending the arm up a bit. I think that is pretty common at the bottom of the windshield. I removed my entirely 2 years ago so I dont remember for sure.

You just have to bend it with your hand until it touches.

fix fast !!

I had the same problem,....I let it go that way, too long, and on a hard rainy morning on my drive to work, the blade cartridge had worked itself loose from the main wiper-arm. It was raining so hard that i could barely make out the sound of it, and now i have a 3 ft. long gouge in the windshield where the wiper-arm's bare-metal, etched a nice curved scratch in the windshield. NOT A PRETTY SIGHT! So for your sake and the windshields- Fix it fast!
