Random Question

Anyone know why my wipers don't make full contact with my windsheild?
i replaced the blades b/c they sucked ass and i only noticed it with the new ones...
it's not just one blade, they both do it and its missing contact in the middle i guess?
i believe i got the right length and they're not ****** quality so idk wtf is up

we place the wipers in the mid point of w/ shield buy turning the key off on them wet -- than taking the arm w/ the blade and bend it ( twist ) so as the blade center is 90* to the shield -- if you look at the blade when you stop it you will see on yours its bent over on its side not standing up straight -- the bending is to end up with the blade to be standing up straight in mid shield -- i hope you get what i mean its easy -- jz

i think he meant...

turn the car off with the wipers half way up, then look at it and make sure the blade (the rubber part itself) is at a 90* angle to the windshield. If not, bend it whichever way to fix it.
