Hello -

Here's another picture of the wipers together :

I also noticed that the maximum height above the windshield (where it connects to the wiper arm) was 1/8" less with the new wipers :

Code:

Old : 1 3/8" = 1.375"
New : 1 2/8" = 1.250"

1.375 / 1.250 = 1.1 => 10% lower than the old wipers.

Tuft tests tomorrow if there is no rain (can't believe I'm saying that in LA in May).
