Do both wiper blades fit under the edge of the hood? The passenger side sticks up behind it due to the shape of the arm. Is that right?

The Trico Innovisions look great on it.

Mine does the same, they have the clearance to both fit under but the one stays just @ the hood-line. Looks good though....

I just put Trico Exact Fits on mine...didn't even see the Innovisions & the one's I saw like that didn't look like they'd work w/ the C4 style wiper arm. I even took one out of the box & it didn't have the hole in it for the piece to pop into. I assume these do?

Thanks for the info. It looks like if the arm was bent more it would slide under but it looks fine. Were you looking at the Bosch? They do not fit. These are the single steel beam ones without the springy things on top. Looks clean

Yeah, I saw one's like that BUT when I popped up the top part, there was no hole to insert thingamabob? How'd you install 'em?

Good to know, I'll have to take a look at those. esp. considering how much rain we get in AZ. & how often I drive in it.

You can adjust you C4's wipers to properly fit under the hood without sticking up. When adjusted properly, they should come to within 1" of the outter windshield trim molding & close completely below the hood. See attached write-up.
