Does anyone have a problem with their blades hitting hard when it comes down?

Mines hit really hard on the hood when coming down 95% of the time. Its been like the whole time I've had the car. It's not the blades cuz i've changed them hella times. Would it be the arms? It's so annoying and everyone complains about it when they ride in my car.

Grab a 14mm socket and take the arms off. Mark the blade location first. Move the arms a few degrees clockwise, test, repeat if necessary.

^ x2. Just pull off the entire arm and make adjustments...

Very easy stuff - just make sure to not turn the wipers by force...pull off the arm and put them back in a few degrees higher like finch13 said.

Kinda funny how you waited so long lol

Mine hit on the side of the windshield and I adjusted them and now they hit the bottom. I'm too lazy to fix them again, so when people complain I just tell them to STFU.
