I had the same thing happen on my 82 Westy.  I was going up the Columbia gorge & the drivers side would lift away just enough to not make a clean swipe.  Probably new arm time.  I am going to see if I adjust or strengthen the spring first.

  Hi Volks,


  While driving my 85 GL in a rain shower with a strong crosswind the driver's wiper would lift away from the windshield enough to not wipe.


  Just a Vanagon quirk or maybe the wiper arm spring tension has seen better days?
