Fitted another set of Storm wiper blades to my 450 over the weekend and had to adjust the position of the arms on the spindles to stop the lower edge of the passenger blade from going over the windscreen rubbers. This leaves the blade quite high on the screen, which looks silly. Both of my wiper arms have bends at the ends, which alter the angle of the blade, i.e. when the passneger wiper arm is vertical, the blade is past vertical. It would appear that an arm without a bend would be better. Do I have the wrong arm fitted to my car or are they all like this ?
Thanks, Matt

I did the cerbera trick of having a slightly shorter passenger blade - this means you can move it around on the spline and get the wipers really low on the bottom of the screen - not high up and waving at you
