Hey guys,

On my way home I just noticed that the driver's side windshield wiper is hitting the plastic piece that is the air grille for the cabin.

When the wiper is running, when it comes down, it doens't rest on its own but hits the plastic piece and then waits until the next cycle.

When the car is off and the wipers stopped, it's resting on the plastic trim itself.

Is that normal ? How would I go about fixing it ?

Also what's the verdict on teflon wiper blades ? Snake oil or just stick with the standard rubber ? I might change em while I'm at it.

Thanks.
