Rear Wiper Sagging??? Help

Does anyone have a tip on how to get the rear wiper to maintain constant and even pressure on the glass? Mine seems to ride in an uneven way and wont clear the window, just parts where the pressure is strong enough to keep the blade on the glass. I have replaced the wiper blade several times with different brands in hope that would fix it. Is there a trick to getting the arm bent to the correct angle?
Thanks!

I don't think there is any trick to it. A possible solution would be to replace the wiper arm. There is a tension spring in it that could be weakened. No proof, just a theory.

I've had really good luck with the Rain-X Latitude wiper blade. It is a beam style and it seems to work well. When I got the truck it had the old school, factory style frame blade. It skipped and streaked badly.
 
I don't get full coverage either, but I get about 60-70% which is better than nothing and I carry a squeegee in case it gets bad.
 
You need a new spring, or a complete arm. And a good blade.
This coil spring wears out just as fast as those on the rear axle.

I bought a complete new arm, and it solved the problem. Nice to see clean cuts of the wiper blade again out the back!
Thanks everyone!
