Been fighting a loosing battle with my wipers. No matter what I do it makes no difference.

The wipers still stick, hit off the far edge of the passenger side pillar and don't wipe all the windscreen.

I've got brand new blades on and attempted to bend the arms.

Anything else worth doing?

Still think a single blade setup would be a good idea.

Bin the passenger side wiper and arm and then you can make the single drivers side wiper sit lower just below the clam air flow line and it still sweeps the drivers area sufficiently and looks miles better...

+1.., the driver side will accept a 28" asymetric blade from a pickup...passenger side blade is no longer rtequired and as Steve says it looks a lot better..
Amazingly i can not find a pic of the single wiper..smile i will take one tomorrow

As they've said and make sure you trey a backless wiper blade as they follow the screen contour better. Also a regular application of RainX, or similar, helps the blade motion.

Done the single blade conversion this morning. Happy enough with the end result. Might look into a different wiper arm and blade setup. Cheers all.
