We just noticed the other day that, at its extreme vertical travel, at the left edge of the windshield, the driver's side windshield wiper is no longer in contact with the windshield. I ran it while standing beside the car, and it actually clears the windshield by at least 1/4" for an inch or so.

Is this normal? There's no visible damage to the wiper arms, both springs are present; I don't see any obvious defect that might be causing this.
