Default Rear wiper doesn't touch window- adjustment help??

Does anyone have any tips on making my rear wiper make contact on rear window? Should I try to bend- or is there an adjustment process? THANKS!!!!

There is no real adjustment on these. The spring in the wiper arm is supposed to keep it on the glass. A lot of times what will happen is the joint near the base of the arm will get all gummed up and corroded. It doesn't flex very easy and the spring can't do it's job.

I suggest that you lube up this joint and flex it until it loosens up. Then the spring should be able to keep it on the glass.
