Default wiper problem

I have a problem with the wipers on my 84, when they operating on the highest speed the left wiper starts hitting the outer windsheild molding when I get above 40 mph. If they are running at less than maximum speed they stop about 2"from the from the windsheild's edge. Can anyone give me help on what causes this?

Quick fix trick, take your stock size and go down 1" in size, will stop the center crashing and chatter, but you'll need to adjust the wiper rotation as posted by severe1
