1999 XC70 rear wiper not swiping effectively.

My 1999 XC70 rear wiper would not swipe the top portion of the wipe.
I thought the blade was bad and replaced the blade but it still would not swipe effectively.
Tried to put more bend into wiper handle with no results.
Any suggestions?-Dick

Are you bending the small arms, the little ones at the ends of the arm? I had a similar experience with the wipers on my BMW, and this is how the dealer tried to solve the issue. Also, when you wax your car, use wax on the back window as well, that also helps some
