Default Wiper Arm - Excessive Sweep/knocking

I have tried to adjust the sweep of the (UK) drivers side blade so that it doesnt knock on either the plastic cover at the base of the window or the driver's side pillar. Despite several goes at adjusting the position on the spline, whilst the sweep is always OK at slow/medium wiper speed, at high speed it always knocks on one or other.The blades are Audi OEM of the correct size fitted last year. Is this a sign of worn mechanism? Can this be adjusted in any way? Its annoying in such an otherwise quiet car.
