windshield wiper problem

The arms and motor work fine,its the pass side blade its not making full contact with the windshield.Drivers side has always worked no matter what brand of blade I use,but the pass side has never worked correctly,only about 2 inches from end on both sides make contact and the middle doesn't.Any ideas or brands I should try?Thanks

It's a problem with the wiper arm itself. Mine does the same thing. Where the wiperarm connects to the shaft is all warn out and loose so it's not putting enough pressure down onto the glass.

Thanks for the help,I decided to try a few more blades from Kragen and found one that covers about 90%.It'll do till I sell my car in a month or so,then someone else can deal with it.
