Question:

Why are my windshield wiper blades colliding with each other?

I‘m having problems with my wiper blades, they hit each other and one actually bent so I bought some new wiper blades and thought that would fix it but they‘re still doing the same thing. The right side wiper is fine but the left one will stutter and get stuck sometimes causing the right one to crash into it. What is wrong?

Answer:

Dont always trust the manufacterer's wiper blade requirements. try shorter blades. Maybe the arm is bent too?
believe it or not most vehicles passenger side is longer than drivers side or visa versa switch them and see what happens. If the passenger is too long i know they will scrape. the average is 17 inches passenger i know that much but every vehicel is different
one of the wiper blades has frozen to the windshield and striped the wiper arm causing it to get out of time with the other. turn the wipers off and let them park in the off position then take the one that is not down off position and move it down to where it should be and tighten the mounting nut to lock it in place.
