Probably needs a new spring.

Guessing the arm included a spring, hence his “wtf”. Did you replace the blade as well?

no, I didn’t replace the blade yet, but I know the problem isn’t a bad blade since I tried a few different ones before figuring out something must be wrong with the arm.

The answer is simple, get an entirely new hatch. :P

My car does that too. Oh well. The fact that it works at all is already a success story.
