when it's at the very bottom the edge does not sit flush FST

I dunno why it's happened with any wiper I've bought and as a result the outer edge no the passenger side doesn't get wiped properly and you see a streak because it's slightly elevated off my windshield and you can see the droplets getting into a line because the very bottom of the wiper that is elevated is slightly touching them.

The Icon that I bought for the passenger side doesn't look right because the edge of the wiper blade(the side near A-pillar of our TL) does not sit on the window when it is all the way down. How can I fix this problem? THANKS

I got a '01 TL and im having the same problem too w/ my Bosch icons...but it doesn't bother me that much, I just let it all hang out. As long as its giving me good visibilty during rainy season, its fine by me.

Why does it matter where the edge of the wiper sits when it's all the way down? Does it clear the windshield when you use the wipers?
