This IS the answer. 
While it seems like more pressure than you would normally like to have, this is what IS required to get the driver side wiper blade to stop approximately 3/4" - 1" from the windshield's outer trim edge.
If you are not particularily interested in meeting NCRS or factory standards, you can make the adjustment so that the wiper blade stops just short of the window trim edge. As long as it does not hit the window molding while on the high speed setting, you will be ok. It the blade hits the molding you will eventually damage both the molding and the wiper blade.
FWIW.

I also put some black tape on the windshield molding for now where the blade had hit just in case...
