Hello, my rear wiper blade keeps hitting the butt of the glass when you turn it on. when the wiper arm is pulled back it will go up but will not wipe all of the water off. after it goes back down it will go back in place and then will hit the butt of the glass again. this is really annoying. Any ideas?

Undo the nut that attaches the arm to the pivot, there may be a cover over it at the bottom of the arm, pull the arm off and reposition slightly higher on the glass, with the motor off the pivot will be at the park position, so where ever you place the blade will be at the bottom of the arc.
