Most common wear points for windshield wipers? 120-130

I need to do something with the windshield wipers on my car; they sweep too far and hit the rubber gasket at the the bottom of the windshield.
The motor is securely bolted down, the adapter pieces that go on the tips of the wiper arm shafts are not slipping, and I can't find any gross slop in the wiper linkage itself.
This is not an issue that can be fixed by remounting the wiper blades at a slightly different angle; the wipers simply sweep too far. The first half dozen sweeps are typically OK, but then the degree of travel increases; as things warm up, I guess.

What should I be looking at?

Thanks
Bill
