Question Wiper goes off windshield

I hope someone else has experienced this! I have a 95 Camaro convertible. When I turn on my wipers the drivers side will go completely off the windshield. I can't figure out why. Does anyone have any ideas. I have looked at the dealers service manual and scoured the internet looking for answers.

sounds like the spring is toast, pull up on them and see if they have much resistance. also look to make sure it is all the way on the shaft. new wiper arms is probably in order.

Spring is good. Had to soak the arms to get them off. The passenger side works fine. It is only the drivers side that comes up and runs off the windshield by about 6 inches. Is there some kind of a stop that may have broken?

Try swapping the driver and passenger springs to see if it acts differently. My 94 3.4 bird does the same but its a beater so meh. Hope we find a solution

I replaced the wiper motor with the complete unit that includes the circuit board and cover. That seems to have resolved the issue.
