87 iroc z windhield wipers not operating correctly

I have an 87 iroc z 305 TPI and the problem I am having is my windhiel wipers won't go all the way up like it supposed to. It only wipes the bottomr of the windshield and I was wondering if there was something that was holding it down or if there anything that I needed to check out. Any suggestions would be great

Thanks

Do the arms go all the way up? If they do, your wiper arms could be too short.

hmmm, could be a loose attachment in the cowl where the arms are. Sounds more likely that you need a new wiper motor.
