2006 Ram Windshield wiper problem
So, about a month ago I bought some windshield wipers for the truck, and all seemed great. Until I was driving in the rain. When I'm going any faster than 40mph there's a spot about the size of a piece of paper that doesn't get wiped right in front of me. Drivers side, right dead center of the windshield. It's so big and in the way I can't hardly see where I'm going. I went to O'Reilly's and swapped the wiper with one of the same brand just to make sure it wasn't the wiper, and sure enough it didn't fix the problem. The guy in there said if it didn't fix it, it could be the spring in the wiper arm holding the wiper blade to the windshield going bad. Has anyone else had this problem? How would I go about fixing it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well I'd thought about that too, but the passenger side works perfectly, and they're brand new wipers. :/ I don't wanna have to buy new ones lol. I guess I'll pick up a couple different ones next paycheck.... Worst case scenario, if that doesn't fix the problem, my dad has an '04 Ram that they'll fit on. Late Christmas present, I suppose. Still, has anyone else encountered this problem?

I have a similar problem with mine, and that is after a new windshield. I'm using these now (the link above) or similar. They are more expensive. but they work

Well, I'm using these, which is basically the same as the rainx.

When sitting still, or on the passenger side they work phenomenal, just when I'm at speed they don't.

I'd return them if you can, and try the rain-x brand. I have no issues at all with those. Can't understand why you would. Have you checked your tension spring at the base of your wiper arm? Possibly you could have a broken spring which would cause your wiper to lift at minimum speed, while still working fine standing still.

How difficult will that be? More importantly, how expensive are they?
