driver side wiper

[georgecdisc]

doesn't seem like my driver side wiper goes all the way to edge of windshield. I'd expect the angle to at least be parallel to A pillar at full stroke. this normal or do I need to make a dealer visit?

 

truck has less than 200 miles on it.

Perhaps the wiper arm wasn't installed quite correctly?  I know with my truck, the arm can go onto the splined knob multiple ways.

 

Does it appear to go lower on the windshield than it looks like it should when you turn the wipers off (or perhaps it presses against something preventing it from going further)?

wiper does seem to be a little on low side at resting position. passenger side even looks suspect, but much less so. guess I'll have to check and see if I can clock it differently this afternoon.

Here is how mine is. Should be an easy fix.

At the rotating end of the arm, there should be a cap that pries off, a nut you remove, then the wiper arm assembly slides off knob.  You could try removing it, then reinstalling it with the arm rotated a bit higher on the window.

tried to go to next spline position, but it positions the blade to go into the frit area at full swipe. this isn't necessarily bad, but it was came close to edge of glass. add any winter snow packing and it might be more of a problem. also sat a little high from driver POV when in rested position (higher than ssowie picture) . returned it to where it was from factory. figure I'd rather hide it behind dash more instead of swiping more.

There could also be something wrong with the linkage -- maybe a bent link that drives the LH wiper.

Also, if the linkage is loose for the LHS, you wouldn't get a full swipe arc.

Might be worth a warranty trip to the dealer.
