Rochester mich.
My wiper never performed well. Then I read a article somewhere ( just can't remember where &#128545 it needs a couple of drops of Marvel mystery oil remove the vacuum line and add a couple of drops and move the wiper back and forth. Plug the vac line back in now it works great !!! But put a rag on top of the tank for xs leakage
