Status of Car; wiper arm 850 94

Hello, everyone.

I've not written in what seems like about a year. My black 1994 850 Turbo wagon has 112,xxx miles and is running very strong. In the last year, I've replaced a turbo hose ($50), the transmission selector pin (plus airfilter; $200), and put in a new o-ring (fixed a minor oil leak; $65). It's been running great as we put about 20,000 miles on it this year, which is about average for me.

The car's left wiper arm does not push the wiper blade onto the windshield when the arm is in its left most position, extended straight up. Do any of you know how I can fix this? Is something merely out of alignment? I thought I needed a new blade, but after installing it, I saw that the blade simply wasn't being pushed nearly enough onto the windshield. I think this (whatever it is) happened in the last 4 months or so. I don't recall anything traumatic happening to it.

Any suggestions on the matter are appreciated.

Thanks,

-Daniel
