Have a vacuum wiper on my slant windshield sedan. It works very well but the swipe of the blade travels onto the windshield frame and when it returns ends up a bit on top of the windshield frame also. I verified with others that I have the correct arm and blade. Is there an adjustment I can make to keep the wiper blade on the windshield as it goes through its cycle or... is this normal?

Hi colonel, i have a 31 coupe that i had the same issue . I found the wiper arm bends are slightly off. Where it connects to the motor.Just bend the wire wiper arm allittle at a time more or less to adjust. It takes alittle trial and error Before you get it right.

There is no adjustment.
Try a shorter blade,
