Default rain x wipers

Hey guys, I bought the rain X latitudes and the left one works great, but the right one doesn't touch the entire windshield. It kind of sticks out over it. And there is a random spot, they don't touch. They are the right size, so I don't know why this would be. Any adivce?

that always happens, never seen a jimmy/blazer/bravada that didn't do this.

that sucks...I spent just under 40 dollars for them. I kinda wish I had just gotten regular wipers. At least the driver's side one is perfect. I thought they would be a nice addition to the truck.

Even if you got a different one they dont touch on the bottom of the passenger side of the windsheild. Smart Engineers you kow. Haha. I did see one guy who put a regular size wiper on the drivers and some smaller one on the passenger side but looked like Sh#%. Plus it wont clean the whole windsheild, lol

That's what I was thinking could possibly work for next time. But the wipers I had on before were made by anco and were regular wipers. They did reach the whole surface. They did not stick out like these do. Oh well.

Mine did the same thing. I just bent the wiper arm a little and it solved the problem.
