they look pretty much the same as mine only your L/h arm is sitting higher up the screen than mine. my R/H blade almost touches the A pillar on full stroke. maybe you need to space them out abit?

What Gary said, also check the arms. I found the pivot points to go on the arms so when when wiping the screen they touch.

That isn't right. The wipers don't overlap like that as standard.

Sometimes spring in the arm itself wears, and blades not being pushed down enough

The other blade is fine its just a tiny bit where its not wiping properly when it goes down so wiping up its fine back down theres a patch its missing. My other blades were fine and never had this issue..

try cleaning the blades and your windscreen they might skip or miss if there is grease or dirt on your windscreen
