Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Angry '02 Escape Rear Wiper issue.

My rear wiper seems to be working fine. But when the wiper moves about 3" from the starting position it doesnt wipe the window. Kind of annoying since I live in Denver and its been snowing every couple of days and haven't been able to see out my back window..

Anyone have any feedback?

thanks

yeah that rear wiper doesn't have much tension on it and it can easily lift off the glass. Too bad they don't make a reflex style wiper in that small size. On my 06 Escape I would try bending the metal arm slightly to help put more tension on it, it helped but wasn't perfect.
