Well, that would undoubtedly help, but the hassle factor makes it
unlikely to be implemented.

You could, but if you reduce the pressure on the arm at rest, you also
reduce the pressure in use -- which means it isn't going to press the
wiper against the glass very well. Not good.

Don't know on those.

Hm, I don't see how that would work. Either you leave the wiper pivot
points where they are, meaning the blades are in the middle of the
wind****eld all the time, or you move the wiper pivot points to a
different spot. That would require body work and other na$$ties.
Creative ideas, but I don't think they will work for her...
Thanks,
