I have a 2004 Santa Fe. The rear windshield wiper doesn't wipe the whole window. It gets the first third then lifts off the window and missed the last two thirds. Aside from bending the arm, is there an easy fix?

 

your mounting system may be loose you should see too it that the bolts are tighten.

 

Kind of an old thread to revive, but was on topic.

I have an 01 Santa Fe. Same problem. It seems like the springs on the wiper arm are not pulling strongly enough to squeeze the wiper to the glass. I have tried lubricating the hinge area, but that didn't help. The spring seems strong enough...

Any other ideas? Has anyone had this problem and resolved it?
Thanks in advance!

 

I'm having the same issue with my 2002 Santa Fe. I have purchased a new arm but for the life of me cannot figure out how to remove the old one and replace it !

Cant anyone help ??

Cheers

 

Pull up the cover and remove the nut.

 

Many thanks,

That was embarrassingly easy, i shall hang my head in shame !! all changed and working fine.
Thanks again
