Default driver's side wiper stopping short

i find this weird and i don't think it's normal but how far does everybody's driver's side wiper go. mine stops parallel to the A pillar. however, it leaves about 3 inches of blindspot on my windshield. i don't think it was like that last year. am i going crazy or is everybody's wiper like that? i want to know because combined with the A pillar, i have about 5 inches or so of blindspot in front of my face which is not good lol.

nah mine is about an inch before the pillar. I mean you are crazy but that's a different note.

Does the wiper go all the way down? down too far? if it does go down too far you may just have to re-align it and if it's good on the way down you may be looking at the wiper transmission.
