How To Fix Wiper Blades That Do Not Sit Flat On Windshield

Question

Question:

Purchased wiper blades part # CP77321 for a 2018 Newmar Bay Star model # 3124. Neither the drivers side nor the passenger side blade will lie flat on the windshield. Both blades raise off the windshield at the far end of the blade in relation to the attachment area on the central post. Please advise.

I have seen that sometimes the pivot points on the Wiper Blades # CP77321 may be a little stiff and just need a good cycling. That will free up the blades to conform evenly to your windshield.
