does the wiper arm still move, if so you just lift it up bend the wiper blade slightly forward and it should tuck right under there.

it still does work, but it wont fit under there anymore. It will get stuck in the corner of the glass before it goes all the way down.

I guess what I'm asking is whether there is supposed to be that huge crack in the middle of the wiper control arm, and if the wiper blade is supposed to be so far out from the middle of the wiper control arm
