Wiper Blade Issue

[Beef-Mc]

Evenig folks, just noticed this recently whith having the wipers on lately. It appears that the passenger side blade is coming up too far and making contact with the A-pillar and making an annoying noise, not to mention rubbing the paint. I'm using 21" Bosch aeroblades on a 182, don't know if that makes a difference.

So yeh, whats causing it and how do I stop it/ fix it? Must say that it is intermittent, doesn't happen all the time, maybe every 3rd/4th wipe.

Bit of searching comes up with this, is this guy on the right track?

How do they sit when they are parked?

Seem fine, wouldn't say that sat higher than my last set on the non-sport.

Forgot about thias as it hasn't been raining lately, anyone have any ideas?

21" is the correct size for the clio and you have the best blades going. Can take a photo of how mine sit if you want...

Very easy to take the scuttle off and move the linkage a little.

Take a photo of yours to help out.

This is how it sits the now, I can see an inch or so of movement in it too.

On both clios the wipers pretty much touch when parked. They go exactly parallel to the pillar when in operation.

Aye thats what I thought, will get the puller on it tonight and see what the story is.
