Wiper blades
I replaced my wiper blades the other day and now they catch on the underside of the hood and get stuck. I work at O'Reilly's so I was able to try several sets of blades and all of them had the same issue. Is there a special brand of wiper you have found that works?

I'm going to try adjusting the hood up a little bit to see if the blades will clear. I just don't want to go too far because then the hood and fenders would be out of alignment with each other.

Trico does blades that work but you didn't mention year so.................
I can't/won't pass on part numbers. Trico 'Exact Fit' will do it.
GM/ACD also has blades that work but again 'year' matters.
** It seems that Trico now might suggest a 19" blade but if you measure I'm sure you'll find they are actually 20". I have a friend who would put a 19" on the drivers probably and a 20" stock length on the right.
