Just fixed my blade to window contact on an 850 wagon(94). Noticed it for some time but put it on my list to fix. The arm holding the blade is molded and in my opinion cannot be bent for correction. However the pivoting hinge attached to the arm(which holds the blade)is what I modified. Remove the assembly and notice how the hinged part stops. There are two tabs or stops that hit the top of the hinged part. I used a dremel with a mixture of bits and ground down these two bumps so to speak which allowed the hinge to drop more bringing the blade closer to the windshield. I still have about 2 inches to the edge of the windshield where the blade does not touch. It wasn't worth grinding more off for the 2 inches remaining.
