rear wiper tension

Post by Smeeagain » Tue Mar 13, 2012 3:34 pm

I seem to have lost tension in my rear wiper arm - when it sweeps across the screen the blade doesn't touch the glass.Everything seems intact and where it should be . Can I adjust the tension? Any other ideas ?

Sorted now - pivot point in wiper arm was full of crud. A bit of Muc Off, WD40 and 3 in 1 silicone lubricant and all is well again. Ten mins start to finish. One to keep an eye on
