I bought it ued at a Ford Dealer and am very displeased with them.I made some mistakes during the deal and had a 2 faced chcik as my salseman.Anyhow I couldnt give a crap about them, Ill finger it out some how.Just after that pic I did bend the arm some and it does a better job, but still could be tighter, especially now with the winter storm sitting in the Springs.

Try some WD 40 on the spring and the pivot points, it gets gunky in there and causes to much resistance for the spring to hold the blade against the window, that wiper arm should slap the window when released.

from how the wipe area looks, it seems that the BASE of the wiper is mounted at an angle on the window....
as if the right side is higher than the left side on the mounting hole....
What about unscrewing the assembly and putting a shaped washer under it to ensure the left side is a bit higher than the right (relatively) ????
just storm draining here..
(but what I would do is send that picture to another dealership/Ford and maybe the local paper that advertises for your Ford dealership and ask them what they think ?)

Finally figured it out.Was looking hard at the wiper arm spayed some WD40 and no help.Then I see the pin that gets smashed down to hole the to arms together was way too tight,The bottom part had a decent gap to allow movement, the upper half was butted right up against it.Well after a little bit of chiseling and slight bending it now works perfectly.
