rear windshield whiper pissing me off....

so i have a prob with the rear whiper...when it is on, the blade only makes a 3 inch swipe and even that is half a$$ed.
is there an adjustment to tighten the blade TOWARD the window? yes, i bought a new blade and it was doing it before!

You may need to bend it. Thats what I had to do after going through a carwash.

yeah, try bending the wiper's arm towards the window...as to allow more pressure to be applied to the blade. It worked for me too.

Ditto on bending it. The car wash did mine in once and it took awhile to get it right. Of course, just keep the window open and you'll be able to see everything just fine!
