Re: Wiper WTF?
This is usually caused by 1 of 2 things. The first one being the wiper arm may have slipped on the splines or the splines are stripped. Check to see if the wiper is all the way down when the wipers are turned off. If the drivers side one is parked higher than the passenger side one, remove the wiper arm and install in the correct position. Be sure to inspect the splines on the shaft and the arm for wear.
The second cause is the wiper blade being too long. I have the same problem because I installed aftermarket double wiper blades and the driver side one is longer than stock so it wipes off of the glass an inch on the end of the blade.
