This is what I get for purchasing cheap wiper blades. Going with the Rain X Latitude.

okay, so i learned this the hard way of buying the wrong ones and then having to make a second trip back to walmart and exchange.
rain-x has different types of wipers. the ones i bought originally were the "conventional" wipers, which had the issue of not laying flat on the glass pointing towards the passenger side, and also the top of the wiper kept hitting the wiper arm. i thought i was doing something wrong, as it has never taken me 45 minutes to replace wipers.
turns out, if you decide to go with rain-x, get the latitude ones, as they aren't tall enough to touch the wiper arm and the form of it will lay flat (the wiper blade adjusts to the shape of the windshield).
