Rear wiper - SILblade, not laying flat
Hi all - any tips on how to get the rear wiper blade to stay flat? Got a set of SILblades, front two are great, but the rear won't stay flat, the outer part of the blade doesn't make contact with the rear window...

Could be the pivot point in front of the spring seizing up near where it attaches to door. Add a little lubricant here, and push the arm toward the glass. Then hopefully the wiper blade will lay flat on the glass. Also might need to bend the arm slightly to improve contact.
