Hi,
But have you replaced the arm assembly? This has a spring that applies a degree of pressure on the window. Without this pressure the blade will be useless, no matter how many you change. Hope this helps John l |

Just to be clear, the whole arm ( back to the spigot on the motor ) and the blade assembly have been replaced?
There should be positive pressure on the blade as it touches the window. A pic might be helpful. John l |

Sounds like either the spigot is bent over to the left or the motor is lose
I suggest removing the wiper arm and look closely at the spigot. Does it seem to rotate centrally or does it wobble to the left when operating. Could be that it was bent when arm removed. John l |

Remove the motor assembly and refit it. The bushes aren't quite sitting right on the mounting bolts.

Have you tried bending arm a little to put more pressure on blade to window contact

Nothing a good idea to try and bend!
Certainly if it is the same as mine. You may get away on the front wipers but rear are plastic castings, or at least they are on mine. Suggest Dastardly's plan best next approach. However there appears to be a slight Vertical curve on the rear window. Mine does not quite touch at the very top, especially in the cold when the rubber is less flexible.
