Default 850 wipers

on my 1995 850 the wipers always want to lift off of the windshield at the top of the cycle. I have tried different wiper arms and the same result. can you bend the wiper arm to stay tighter or is there an adjustment to set

I was bending my arm so regularly that I thought I had weakened the metal. I bought some new blades that are designed to conform to the curvature of the glass and they eliminated the problem. Forget the brand, but I got them at WalMart...

There is a thread that explains that problem. I'll try to find it.
