Windshield wiper arm/missing area on glass
I feel like the king of obscure problems and questions, but I have one about windshield wipers.
I've had some trouble with the wipers covering the entire windshield on my '95, and just bought some of the correct Trico "Exact Fit" wiper blades. The passenger side is working much better now, but the driver is still missing a large area in the middle when running.
The arm itself is a little balky, as in it doesn't want to sit down all the way on the glass without some work. So, do the springs wear out on the arms and lose tension? Does the whole arm need to be replaced?

Ah...that will be tough then with the OEM's discontinued. The only thing I've found besides that so far are Dorman brand, and the reviews aren't promising.

I did just see those are still offered. Not really my first choice though. My assumption is that the spring is the important part, but I just don't know how feasible it is to replace that specifically, or if a replacement spring could even be sourced.
