    I got new blades but the new ones hit each other I moved them so they still work but they are on each other & I don't remember the other ones doing that.. anyone else have this happen or know how to fix it??? I got the passenger side smaller bc the set I got that was recommended was way to long & really hit each other worse than these do

    That's an easy fix, the post for the driver side wiper arm is serrated, take the nut off and pull the arm off the post, rotate the arm up one notch and reinstall.

    For reference, here's what ours looks like. Whenever I've had the wipers off, beforehand I put a little bit of masking tap at the tip, for reference when reinstalling.

    Looks like your driver's side is ok, but passenger side is off by a notch.
