That is nothing more than a simple adjustment.
Depending on what kind of car it is, you have to either loosen the
wiper arm nut and lower the arm...or if it's not a nut / threaded stud
type set-up, then you simply lift the wiper arm about 2" off of the
windshield and slide out the locking tab, remove the arm, and
reposition it to a slightly lower position.
won't work - lower end of sweep has a little rest for the arm when the
wipers are parked, so if I did that, it'd be trying to force the arm
through the rest.

There's SO many things that GM did wrong with this wiper implementation
that I could write pages on how to improve it. And that would just
start me on a long rant on simple things that could have been done to
improve the car as a whole...

It doesn't matter, you can still lower the arm, it will just rest more
tightly against the wiper stop. What kind of car is it?

2005 Impala.

One that a coworker had was the exact same way. I am not motivated to
do crap to it as I loathe it and it's 10K overdue to be turned in, anyway.
