Flat Aero Wiper Blades!

[Renshaw]

fitted my new flat wipers today but they dont seem to sit on the glass as well as my old standard ones! if you sit in the car they are lifted slightly on the right side of the right hand blade and theres also an issue with the blades overlapping slightly when i put them down back onto the windscreen. im sure i fitted them properly (i mean its not exactly hard is it??) so i cant understand why they'd overlap. seen other clios with flat wipers and they dont seem to be doing this?!!

is there anything i can do about this? can i jus heat it up maybe with a hairdryer and bend it so it moulds to the glass better?

they dont look like there sat propperly but they are and mine over lap about a cm, what size did you get?

i assume its the drivers side not sitting on the glass properly next to the a pillar, yes?

heat it up with a hair dryer and bend it a bit, it will sit on the glass better.

i've got 21 inch blades. i feel like the driver side blade should sit about an inch over towards the passenger side too ...ah well!! gonna go get the hairdryer on them later, neighbors will think im a bit of a fruit but at least i'll be happy lol

mine are 21" to bud they wipe perfectly couldnt complain apart from them making s**t loads of noise when the windows mucky (obviously wet)

I found them ok, but they're a tad longer, so clean more of the windscreen.

any idea where I can get cheap standard blades from? I think the dealer quoted £40 at service time.

Thanks
