Winshield Wipers Go Up and Come Off The Windshield

My windshield wiper on the drivers side will go up the windshield and come off the glass leaving water right in the way off my vision when im driving. I replaced the wipers thinking it was that but it wasnt.

Very common problem. You can bend the arm closer to the window or there are two tabs on the swivel/spring section that need to be ground down. I did the latter and it works great.

you could do that or do what i did and order a new wiper arm and then put some blue thread locker on the bolt that secures it. be sure the bolt is on tight or the problem will come back
