I've noticed that my windshield wiper blades don't seem to be pressing down on the glass as firmly as they used to (1999 Explorer Limited, 100K miles). Should I replace the entire arm assembly or will replacing the springs do the trick, assuming I can buy them as separate parts?

Thanks,

Jon

Go to NAPA, or someplace of equal or better quality, and get the whole arm with the spring assembly. This includes the rubber wiper. That's what I did and it worked out OK. Bill V.
