wipers catching on hood

I searched the forum and didn't see anything on c-3's. I just replaced the wiper blades on my 74 coupe and they catch the hood and don't even make it up tpo the windshield. Is there a specific brand to use. My old ones did fine.

wiper

do you have an assembly manual or shop manual the have all the instuctions on adjustment in there on my 69 there is a small screw on wiper arm that you can adjust angle of blade or maybe the new wiper frame is just a bit to tall to clear the hood see if you can just change out rubber part of the blade

I had the same issue with new blades. I ended up just getting refills for my original holders.

I only use refills to avoid fitment issues.

No parts stores around here carries the refills nor the low profile replacemnets any longer.

Surprisingly Walmart carries the older low profile style.
