Post a picture. They may need a slight adjustment with the screw on the side.

RedBird is spot on. The adjustment will change the angle just a small amount. I believe a 1/4 turn clockwise is good for a start, see how they sweep. Make sure not to go too far, as that can cause the blade to hit your trim on the A pillar.

Thanks for your help. I see your driver's side is below the passage side, I think that's what I Did wrong.

Most of the Reproduction wiper arms do not have that adjustment. You have to find an original set if you don’t have it.

Having the driver's side down is the correct position.

Not to steal the thread, but this prompted me to finally, after about 8 years, to adjust the wiper arms properly on my '64. Never knew what those screws did. I do now and that really helped. My wipers look just like this now. Thanks.
