Default rear wiper

The rear wiper on my 1999 xj sport works but only cleans a portion of the window. I have changed the blade. But between 11 and 1 it does not wipe the top 20% of the window. Any help would be appreciated.

Making sense, pulled on the arm, no return force. Thank you. Any tips on a spring. I just searched and only came up with whole arms. Btw what is the cord that extends along the arm?

Thanks for the help. Pulled a spring from one at the yard. Annoying to install. Window wipes even now.
