wiper getting stuck..

Post by Root »

So my passenger side wiper sometimes doesn't retain it's natural position on the windscreen. Instead it gets stuck about an inch above where it should be.
Why is it doing this and how can I resolve this problem?

I've noticed several old vehichles with the same problem..Eventually I'm going to be replacing both wipers with a Storm wiper but for now I'd like to fix this issue.

Cheers for all the help lads, you're very helpful :P
