i just replaced the front window in my van and when i went to put the windshield wipers on i noticed that the passenger side wiper doesn't fit flush on the window(size16). is this normal? am i overlooking something?

Is it just the tip that is lifting off the window when the wipers are in the off position?
I have seen that before. That is where the window starts to curve a little more and it can be difficult to find a wiper that 'forms' around that part of the window.

FYI.

The original wipers were 400mm in length (everything is Metric on a VW right?) and the replacements are 16". I don't think it's enough of a difference to eliminate the overhang.
