Rear wiper question????

Hey, I know this really doens't have anything to do with engine work, so I'm sure someone will tell me where to relocate it to. Until then, here is my problem. I am having a problem with my rear window wiper arm. It seems that whenever and everytime I turn it on (in the rainy n/w) that it wipes only about half way across the window. It continues on through the full swing of the arm, but it doesn't wipe the rest of the window. It's like the arm is lifting off part of the window. If you understand my problem and have any ideas, please post.

Is your wiper arm bent?

Take a look at your wiper. Make sure it is not torn or otherwise messed up. If it dryrots, and you don't replace it, it might act that way across your window. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I dont think it is. It's not enough to notice, and I assume that the spring mechanism would still make it work right. But I dont know.

Right after I noticed the problem, I went out and pruchased a new blade, so I dont think that is the problem.
I think that I will just try and buy a new arm and see if that fixes it. BTW,does anyone have instructions to replace the arm? It seems (
) a little more complicated than I thought..... of course there is the issue of my stupidity and all...
