My windshield wipers technically work, but they don't get the rain off the windshield at high speeds. I thought it was the kind that i had, so i got new ones and tried that, still doesn't work. The passenger side is fine, but the drivers side it's like it doesn't even touch down, like it needs weight or pressure on it. Is there an attachment to put on so that it will work?

seems like the wiper arm itself is warped / twisted a bit, would suggest replacing the entire wiper arm assembly..

yeah not a bad job at all. The whole end is the cover, under it there wil be a nut. Pry the cover off, loosen the nut and jiggle the arm off.
