wiper lifts off windshield 850

OK, this is probably a pretty mundane question, but it's getting annoying. During operation, the driver's side wiper lifts just slightly off the glass when it hits about 1 o'clock position on the up-stroke, just enough so that it doesn't sweep the remaining water off. On the down-stroke it stays off the glass as well until about the same spot, then contacts the glass and wipes as it should.

I've replaced the blades, even swapped right for left with no apparent improvement.

I'm thinking the arm is bent, and I've tried to bend it to increase its curvature. But I'm not getting any results and I'm not convinced this is the right direction to bend it, i.e. maybe it should be made flatter (less curvature)?

Any pearls of wisdom are appreciated.
