First thing to check is that the arm has not come loose on the motor shaft. Tighten it up before rushing out and buying a new wiper arm (like I did).
Otherwise, look at the blade itself for wear and age - it could be the problem with keeping adequate pressure on the glass.
Last is very gently putting a little extra bend into the arm shape itself. Just be careful to not stress the wiper motor shaft. The safest thing to do would be to remove the arm while re-shaping it - remount and test.

MY rear wiper doesn't touch the windshield in the middle of the window?
Most likely your wiper blade needs replacing. Before replacing however, you can check to see if the arm moves freely away from the window and if there's good pressure back towards the window. You can also see if the wiper blade moves freely on the wiper arm and that its not binding. If both of these checks seem ok, then its probably just a worn wiper blade.
How do you adjust windscreen wiper pressure on a Ford Focus?
You don't, if the wipers are loose on the window, you need new wiper arms and blades. If your wipers are old, they will be dry-rotted and will not form to the glass as intended. You can try new rubber inserts first, that's the cheapest way to go. If that doesn't work, replace the arms and blades.
