When it rains my passenger side wiper blade hits the stop or bottoms out and makes a clunking noise. I need to know if it is an adjustment or a linkage replacement

My car window wiper is hitting off the side but it is the right size and isn't loose?

has been moved or the one fitted is bigger that the one it was originally set to. take the cap off the wiper arm and undo the nut. then wiggle the wiper blade arm until it comes off. then put back on and leave an inch gap from bottom off the window to the wiper. tighten the nut up and check that it works ok without going over any of the rubbers on the winds screen. if it does re do it and lift it a bit more up. then it should be fine after driving over 30mph then.

1998 olds silhouette mini van, passenger side wiper arm over extends off the wind shield when turned on. When this happens wipers seem to be running at maximum speed or beyond really hammering the stops....

when the wipers are off make sure the driver and passenger wipers are at same level on windshield
you can adjust them so they don't go off the edge or hit the bottom.
if they are hitting off the edge and hitting the bottom as well you need to check the linkage since it may be worn out.

Wiper arm goes off of the windshield when it is raining

Sounds like you just nee to remove them and reinstall them in the correct position. Take them off, run the wipers for one cycle until they park. Install the arms so the blade is about an inch above the bottom of the windshield.
