Default sedan wiper blade length

hi,

I need some help with the wiper blades on my sedan.
90% of the time the right (drivers side in this country) hits the beading on the edge of the windscreen.

I have put in shorter ones but I get the same thing. I tried even puting even shorter ones in and still they knock the beading but lower down.

If I try a just the wiper blade and make it lower when its "parked" on the windscreen the join in the wiper where you can bend it up knocks my hood when I try to open it.

any suggestions?

thanks!

sounds like your wiper ARMS are switched to me. shorter arm should be on the drivers side along witht he shorter blade.

cant be as the drivers side arm has the wind scoop thing. which is always mounted on the drivers side.
