Cool! You are doing it right, although, why the need for such long wiper blades (touching the windshield rubber seal)?
Correct size should be 380mm (15").
If you can't source Bosch or SWF maybe you will get them easily from Trico, Champion,...? |

replaced trunk liner upper and lower . West Coast Metric. The lower shipped flat so I did not have issues, and the upper went in smooth as well with no bowing.
