Anyone have this same problem?....

Anyone know the fix?

My Drivers side wiper blade goes so far when it wipes, that it hits the metal trim between the windsheild and the A pillar.

It's making a hell of a lot of noise, and is scratching the metal trim piece...

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

shorter blade maybe?
I got to go outside now to see if they can be adjusted like my truck where all I do is re-position the arm.

I wish it was that easy. Its not the top of wiper blade thats hitting. It's about halfway down the blade....I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow and show you guys.

Is the wiper parking in the correct place? Has the arm been moved or slipped on the wiper shaft?

Pop your hood. Undo the bolt (10mm iirc), pop the arm off, adjust position, pop back on. Sounds like a simple fix to me.
