    Hello ,

    I replaced my OEM blades with a set of Sightlines. I noticed on right / passenger side about an inch of the wiper doesnt touch the windshield at the bottom when they are turned off. And when using there is a bead of water remains during the wiper cycle.

    Do your blades do this?

    Have a picture? Trying flexing them a little. Like try to contour it to the windshield a little and then see if it rides better.

    What was wrong with your OEM wipers? Mine work just fine on my '21 TRD OR AC.

    I installed 24in driver and 22in passenger wipers. The little rubber piece in the corner of the window needed a little trimming. Otherwise, it has been great for the last 45k or so.

    Yeah? That is why I noted the larger sizes that I am using.
