Drivers side wiper not flush

[Neil Stokes]

Hey,

 

Just seeing whether there is a common problem or if someone has an easy fix?

My drivers windscreen wiper doesn't sit flush to the screen when moving, leaving patches on the glass. I have replaced the wiper blade, and had a go at bending the arm, but the problem still remains. Any hints or tips would be great appreciated.

My x5 drivers side did this and it was the spring had lost its tension. I just bought another from eBay and fitted it in 5 minutes. 

job done!
