Wiper Issue

I've had my vette for a year and the right side wiper has never fully retracted under the hood.I always have to manually tuck it in.Has anybody had this problem?

sounds like its off its alignment... may have to remove and move on the shaft to line up correctly.

Did you go with a fatter replacement blade? If so you may need to manually park the blades

The wipers are GM.Wipers work well but the right arm just doesnt tuck in under the hood.It stops when it hits the plastic stopper.
