Went to my local parts store to get new winter blades. This is not a large chain store and I have going there forever. I told the manager I want what you put on your truck. He gave a beam style Trico winter blade. The blade did not touch the last 3 1/2 inches of the glass. He was surprised as much as I was, tried two others (same as pervious one) still had the same issue. Anyone out there have this problem?

Yep, common issue. Driver side at top left and passenger side at bottom right. Never was able to find a wiper that can wipe properly. BTW, for better coverage and to get rid of the little triangle in between the two in the sweep, use a 24" on driver side.

Will go with the 24, thanks Mooseman! Thought I was having a senior moment, not being able to change a wiper blade.
