Wiper Blade not sitting on glass correctly
I just replaced my wiper blades and for some reason the passenger side (17") is not curving to the shape of the glass, it is laying flat. Any ideas on what would be causing this??

if that is true though, the WIPER (not the blade) has to be messed up somehow...sorry

BTW, the tip (2 or so inches) of my passenger blade has never sat against the windshield when it's in the tucked away off possition, and I've gone through 5 sets of refills.

I replaced the blades. The last 5 or 6 inches are not hitting the glass when in the off position which makes it pretty noticeable.

They are PIAA Blades. This is the only problem with ordering things off the web, the hassle when there is something wrong with the merchandise.
