Another wiper question

[SilverSHO]

Ever since I got my SHO the driver-side wiper has had a problem with not contacting the windshield properly. Watching it in motion, I can see that most if not all of the wiper blade is not even touching the windshield. I replaced the wiper arm, but the blade still does not rest properly on the windshield. What would be causing this? I'm out of ideas. frown

not enough spring in wiper arm to keep blade flat on windsheild maybe? does blade rise up in center or either end?

When you put the wiper back on did you push it all the way down and make sure the little slider goes ALL the way over, and not just some of the way?

I replaced my wipers on my 89 a few weeks back with the wiper arms off my 94, it was all snowing zand crap too, but anyways it was cold and my hands were frozen and numb and I thought I had it pushed all the way down but the wiper wasn't contacting the windshield, it just wasn't pushed all the way down, take it off and push it down good, or tap it lightly with a small mallet, BUT make sure the small slider is all the way out before putting it on and tapping it, good luck. THEN make sure it slides all the way back over,

good luck
