Is it just me, or does the rear wiper kind of suck?

I use mine here in Florida. Nave never had an issue with it. But when I do, now I know what to do lol.

It sounds like the spring is weak on your wiper.
Here is the pattern my wiper makes in the dust on my '00 Yukon XL:

Mine has the same exact pattern. I just changed the blade too.

+1 to the worn spring.

When I bought my Yukon, the arm was actually missing. I replaced it with one from Amazon for $31. It was a perfect fit. I put a decent blade on it and it cleans the rear window as it should.

Here is a link to the arm:

I never used mine and hated how it looked so I shaved it.

I would assume that after about 17 years (for my truck, anyway), the spring is starting to get weak.

I just dropped mine of for some paintwork and decided to shave the hatch. Buh Bye wiper
