I bought 2 new Wiper Arms from LMR, and put some 16" Bosch Blades on them. The Drivers side arm fits well. The Passenger side is another story. Any ideas????

You need to adjust the curvature of the windshield to match the blade.

OK seriously now, it is a bit hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the arm has a weird bend in it. Have you tried switching them side to side to see if the other one works on the passenger side. you may be able to adjust/bend the arm to allow the blade to sit flat.

Adjust the curvature of the window, lol.

I just bent the passenger side, and it now sits flat. When you buy something that's supposedly factory replacement,, you wouldn't think you would have to adjust anything.

Thats why I stopped buying made in China replacement parts. Find a decent stock set and just re-finish them.

Precisely why LMR has stopped getting my business. With but a few exceptions their product line is Chinese repop and fits horribly. EBay or the jy typically yield better results.

sucks but that is why i always ask when I am buying new parts the origin of the part. If they say it's China, I'm not buying it.
