Just got this 2006 Duramax about a month ago. It only has 4000 miles on it, and the wipers don't do what they should. I plan to take it to a dealer to get it fixed under warranty, but I won't have time for another month. Check out the pictures. I just put on Bosch Icon wipers, and they are missing a big area on the passenger side. I think it has to due with arm pressure, but not sure. Any ideas?

You must have the wrong set of blades. I have those same Bosch blades and like them alot, and mine reach much further over than that. Check the book at Advance, Autozone etc....looks like someone before you put on the wrong set!

I put those on, they are the 22" ones. Bosch recommended that size. I had them on my last truck, and I loved them.

Also, does the blade angle look right? I think they are angled up too much. They are down as far as they go. One more thing, the wiper arms hit the hood edge as well. I will definitely be taking it to a dealer in the near future.
