Wipers lifting

Maybe try moving the offending arm one spline on the hub. I noticed when I got my vehicle the passenger side wiper arm was sitting too low almost allowing the blade to touch the scuttle, driver side was fine. Standing in front of the vehicle you could tell the wiper arms didn’t match or sit even when in the parked position. I moved the passenger arm up one spline to make them both even and haven’t had any issues besides the poor rubber quality of the blades themselves. Perhaps the wiper install person on the production line was in a hurry to use the restroom or something on my build?

It's both arms. The entire blade from tip to tail lifts off the glass. If I could park the blades at full wipe they would be floating in air.

Very interesting indeed… almost suggests the entire cradle holding the wiper motor, spindle hubs and arm assemblies under the scuttle has shifted or was never installed/aligned correctly? Now if we only had access to a manual with exploded diagrams. I wonder how we could get that? (It’s going to be a long six week wait for some tech/admin guy to give us login credentials… ugh!)
