Default Help with wiper blades

I reaplaced front wipers with Silblades. The wipers dont sit flat on windshield, so it misses a spot when it wipes. Is there a way to adjust this?

On a DII?
Did you install them backwards?

DII.

Dont think I put them in backwards. I pushed a tab, pulled out the old blade,and put in the new one.

I dont know, maybe because they are brand new and still stiff?

Is it woth trying to bend the arm to put more pressure on the blade itself?

If they were fine before the new blades then I would hold off on that.
I have bend many a wiper arm but only as a last resort.

It sounds like you may have received the wrong wiper blades.

Update.

Weather was bad this week. Sillblades still didnt have good contact with the windshield. I ended up buying a pair of wipers from the dealer for $40. The dealer wipers are great, clean sweep. I talked to Atlantic British. They have pulled the Sillblades from the website due to too many fit problems. They are refunding my $.
