rear windshield wiper tension question

[srkpaco]

I have a 2004 LC all stock except for crancked torsion bars, one size up in tires, and running boards removed.

My question is my rear windshield wiper does not work very well, I am on the highway alot in the rain and weather, I replaced the wiper blade with a bosch and it still doesn't work very well at all.

Is there a way to tighten the presure on the wiper, can you replace the spring?

Thanks, in advance

I haven't had an issue on my LC, but this was a problem on my old 4Runner. I replaced the spring and all was good again.

Mine is the same way and curious what you come up with as a solution...

Bend the arm a little and use OEM rubber.

Thanks Trunk Monkey, never thought to been the arm a bit. You think OEM rubber is better that the Bosch blade?

i'd guess the bosch blade is better since i'm assuming it's the "even-pressure, flat-style" blade vs the "coat hanger style"
