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..

OK....you wouldn't be able to get the arm off anyway unless you have a
small puller. They put some kind of Loctite crap on those arms for
some STUPID reason. You can always lower a wiper arm slightly below
it's stop and then force it up on top of the stop. Then you have to
adjust the other arm down because doing this will move it up slightly.
Anyway, that is the simple way to do it w/o getting into adjusting the
wiper arms linkage underneath the cowl, which requires removing the
arms. lol
