Windshield wipers too loud

While I love that the evo wipers have such great windshield coverage... Mine is hitting the trim on the left edge of the windshield making for a loud clack every time. Is there any adjustment to this? Dont really want to take the arms off and set them at a lower start point as they already go down pretty low.

My guess (based off of your "such great coverage" comment) is that you're running the wrong size wiper blade causing it to be smacking the A pillar.

That, or the wiper arm is bent causing it to be over extended. OR, the wiper arm was removed, and re-installed clocked improperly.

If they look flat when the wipers are off, then you probably have too long of a wiper blade.

Cant you just re-clock the wiper blade on the mount? Maybe its out of position

Edit. Someone already noted the clocking issue

Mine did this when I first got it. Take off the nut holding down the wiper arm. adjust it downward slightly and tighten.
You have to take the arm all the way off as there some splines to prevent the arm from slipping.
