i just replaced my windscreen wiper blade as the last one i thought was knackered

after buying the new one, there is no diference..
my problem is that when the wiper blade goes from left to right, it misses a section of the actual glass!
its really bizarre!
i have tried bending the arm so that it puts more pressure on the glass but it makes hardly any difference
if you watch it in motion, it goes left to right and then sort of lifts up by about 1cm which is then missing the rear glass!

anyone else come across this?

Yep i agree with Dazzler, my rear wiper was doing the same.....weak spring 

Altho I would get a new one from dealer.....they arent that much and a 2nd hand one might either be the same or not last very long before that does the same 

melted windscreen??

Had to change mine too, when I got the got the car someone had changed the spring to something that looked like it had come out of pen!

I had to order it from VX dealer in Basingrad, but only took 2 days to arrive

Mine was OK when I bought the car, but I thought I'd treat it to new wipers all round (Bosch).

Now it misses the high brake light area completely.  

I can hear you all thinking "If it ain't broke, dont fix it." allready.    

Eddie.

mine misses both ways? and it sticks out about a foot from the glass? has done this since I washed it last?

Mine misses the lower section, but if I draw a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth a few days after its been washed, it looks like a snowmans head

it makes kids smile
