Rear wiper pressure?

I find the rear wiper arm does not apply near enough force to adequately wipe glass.

I must turn wiper on then physically push/put pressure on arm to clean the rear window.

I thought the spring may have been broken but it is not.

Do these springs wear out?...is there a mod of sorts to get arm to apply more down force.

springs wear out. i used my wiper for the first time on christmas. it seemed pretty weak. i purchased my car at 9 years old, so i'm not sure if "new" is better. did you see how much a new arm was? $30
you could just buy a new one and find out if it's better...
