Wiper blade why this?
Since from when I installed this OEM gm wiper blade, the left one doesn't touch the windshield when in off position, has anyhone ever had this issue?
Which is the reason?

Odds are when you raised up the blade you took some of the arc out of the wiper arm or the after market blades you had before had a taller profile, if you look under the sprayer nozzle you will see a ramp. its there to take off the wiper pressure but not raise it that far. so you need to just gently flex the arc back in to the arm between the ramp and the blade mounting.
I recently installed a set of Bosch wiper blades and they seemed to be taller because they kept getting stuck under the hood.

I'm glad it worked out but putting a piece of wood under it like that and against the windshield, your lucky you didn't crack it the wind shields. the windshields are kind of vulnerable along the edges, you can re-arch the arms by just putting your hand under it mid span
