My driver side wiper blade contacts the windshield when at rest and at the base of the windshield. However when operating the blade will leave the surface of the windshield at the middle of the blade and only the outer edges will be making contact.

Something is bent or jammed and you need to determine what.

i understand that something is jammed or bent. What a complete waste of time and effort to pose a question for that type of response. I was hoping to receive something a little more detail but I guess you would have to pay for that...thanks!!

And exactly how would I know what damage you have on your car when you are there and I am here? Some things have to be done yourself

Wiper blades are made of rubber.And most type of rubbers harden over time reducing their effectiveness to perform what they were designed for. You need to replace the wiper blades.
