My son seems to think the problem is that the wiper arm is installed upside down. The J hook on the drivers side is open facing the opposite way of the windshield while the passenger side J hook is facing down toward the windshield.

Is this the proper direction for the J hooks? Does anyone have a wiper that is kind of offset at the hook up point?

A BIG thanks in advance for any replies.

Sincerely Barry
Reverse J is normal. Does the car have Speed Sensing variable pressure wiper on the drivers side? Wiper Arm mounting configuration would look like the image attached.
