the picture is for wiper blade, you see the inches for each wiper above and below the blackout. To adjust the blade, if that is the problem, remove the blade and measure accordingly to measurement in picture. You may need to use a puller to remove blade. My info says a battery terminal puller should work fine, after you remove the nut. To install, my info says to torque the nut to 35 ft lbs.
I found this info in my database, it's all I have to go by. Hope it helps.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
(see Figures 1 and 2)

To remove the arm from the pivot, lift the arm to permit the latch to be pulled out to the holding position and remove the arm from the pivot with a rocking motion.

Fig. 1: Mount the wiper blade/arm as shown-Dakota models

Fig. 2: Mount the wiper blade/arm as shown-1994-96 Pick-ups

When installing the arms, the at-rest position of the blades should be determined before pushing the arm onto the pivot. For Dakota trucks, the tip of the driver's side blade should be 0.51-2.63 in. (13-67mm) above the cowl panel and the passenger's side blade should be 0.94-3.06 in. (24-78mm) above the cowl panel. For 1989-93 Pick-ups and Ramchargers, the driver's side blade should be 1.84 in. (47mm) above the windshield weatherstripping at the heel of the blade; the passenger's side blade should be 2.24 in. (57mm) above the weatherstripping. For 1994-96 Pick-ups, the wiper motor must be in the PARK position and the wiper blade should be about 0.85 in. (22mm) from the upper edge of the black-out areas at the base of the windshield.


Hope this helps to solve it.

Try some Liquid metal inside the wiper arm let it set well before use. You can pick it up at Autozone or your local auto store.

You don't have to put the wipers in an upright position You can take the arms completely off. It's very easy to do, when you are looking at the base of the wiper arm, on the side closest to the windshield, at the base, there is a spring-loaded tab. Lift the arm on its hinge to where the arm is now pointing away from the windshield, pull the tab and the wiper arm will slide right off. Now you can access the linkage joints easily. Hope that helps!

Check wiper arm where it fits to the shaft the nut may have come loose! if so reset the arm to its normal resting place & retighten!
if its ok then its more likely that it has come off its pivot under the csuttle panel
it may need a new pivot
