Clarity Plug-In Hybrid

The windshield wiper seems to skid past where it's supposed to stop and bump the side molding. It makes an annoying sound and I am concerned it may harm the wiper or windshield. I have not taken it in for repair. I was told by other owners of the car model this is a common issue and the fix is to clean the window up with a clay bar, or take it in for a motor replacement. The former seems to have resolved the issue, but I assume windows shouldn't always be at that level of perfection for functional wipers.

Air vent is above wiper parking spot. Snow melts and freezes again when touch wipers. Ice accumulates on wiper even cabin temperature is above 70F. Which makes wipers useless and driving dangerous in snowing condition.
