windshield wipers..ne1 have this prob?

Ever since i bought this car used...my passenger side wiper was too low and always hit the plastic under the windshield when it was raining and the wipers were on high (going back down). i tried to make the pass side wiper higher...but than the drivers side wiper hits the pass side wiper when they go back down. if i make the drivers side higher also..they are up like way high...this is really pisin me off...i tried about 10 times either the pass side is too low or too high...it will NOT go in the middle. any suggestions? (I know this is VERY confusing...but i am a perfectionist and it really BOTHERS me lol) Thanks again.

Do you mean like the whole arm may have once been removed, and not replaced in the correct position causing it to either go too high or too low during operation?

Sounds like your driver's side wiper is too long and hitting the passenger's side while in use. The length should be 26" and the passenger's side should be 17". Are both of your wipers around these lengths?

semy2k2go...yes and they are the correct length..when i got the car it had stock wipers and they did the same thing...i have replaced the wipers since than and it still does it. just a small annoyance.

Mine used to do that. I had to flip the driver side one around so now it won't snap in place. It still stays well enough and doesn't click anymore.
