My rear wiper doesn't have 100% coverage - there are spots at the top and near the pivot where the blade doesn't make contact with the glass and leaves dirt/rain behind.

The blade itself is nearly new - just replaced last year. And it's still flexible.

The mounting arm appears to still be flexible as well, but perhaps it's too flexible (loose) and not staying in contact.

Anyone else see this problem, and did you replace the arm? Or some other solution?

The nut that holds the arm is loose. Take the cover off, position the wiper where it should be when off, tighten.

 

Yep--replace the arm, mine did the same thing and a new blade did nothing! Once I replaced the arm it was perfect.

I also just replaced my two front windshield wiper arms because the were terrible and new blades did not fix that either lol----now both front and rear are crystal clear, I bought all OEM

A new arm comes with the spring? It's not shown as a separate part, so ... maybe?

It's actually not that -- the skipped portion is at the top of the glass, not on either side.

It comes with everything including the Blade!!
