Default Fixed: Wiper blades hitting hood when in park position

After a new windshield install I found that my wiper blades were sometimes scraping the bottom of the hood in the park position.

I found some wiper blades at Autozone that sit about 1/4 inch lower than most other brands.

The Rain-X brand wiper blades solved my hood clearance issue with the wiper blades.

I don't work for Autozone or Rain-X but just wanted to let others know that may be having this issue.

Could you pass on the style and /or number for blades?

Dont remember which ones I got but they dont rest on the blocks and stay out from under the hood because they arent tall enough! They also keep popping off the arm. I dunno maybe my arms are screwed up but I will be getting more traditional ones next time.

They are the 20" rain-x weatherbeater wiper blades. I installed them on my 93 and my 96 and they fit very well.
