    Hey guys, my rear wiper works like crap. It has a new wiper blade. Is there any mod or way to get it to make more contact with the rear window while it's on?

    Theres a helper spring iirc that goes on the wiper to press it into the glass more. I don't visit here much, but its been discussed on t4r.org before. I'd give a search over there as well

    I can't remember specifics but on mine I cut and shortened the helper spring a little bit to give it more tension. Works great now.

    On the FB 4th Gen pages, I saw some guys cutting a little bit out of the plastic where the hinge is and that allows better contact. Sorry, I don't have pictures...
