Yukon GT Rear Wiper Doesn't Touch Glass

Make sure the retainer clip isn't binding up. If you leave it pulled the arm will not go down all the way.

Good tip....thank you.

Have you tried s-l-i-g-h-t-l-y bending towards the glass that part of the arm where the washer nozzle is connected?

I went to pepboys yesterday and they only had one listing for a rear blade....a 13" Bosch 41913. I installed it and the whole blade touches the glass when parked...however, it does not wipe 6" of the center between "11 & 1". So the first third and last third are spotless...the middle untouched.

So I am going to bend my brand new arm a hair inward to see if it remedies my problem.

Thanks everyone.

Let us know if it works. This is an odd issue.

I have a similar problem with the rear wiper on my '96 Suburban. It doesn't clear the any of the window between about 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. I've tried several different blades to no avail.

So I'm not the only one?

I bent the arm and got a couple more inches but it is still crap. It's been snowing and raining all week. Can't see out of the rear window.
