Default windshield wiper

windshield wiper is offset and I don't know how to fix it. Its the passenger side that not set right. Its like it went back too far and its now resting over the stopper. It still works,.....its just not flush with the glass now when I throw the switch.

Any ideas?!

I have the same thought it seems like its not centered on the stopper and now the outer edhe of the wiperblade is just hanging over the bottom half of the windshield rather than resting on it.

Guys, you know, the entire wiper arm can be taken off, moved up or down where ever the blade needs to be and put back on. If you don't know how, go to your local service station and I feel sure that they will show you how to do it. It is a simple operation.
