So I've known for a while something wasn't right with the wiper arms on my DD... the driver's side (DS) scratches the cowl and the passenger side (PS) had an incorrect angle so the wiper wouldn't wipe everything it should... Anyone else run into this problem??

pics for reference...

It looks like the DS was just bent or twisted?? caused it to scratch the cowl

PS was a completely different length! Explains why the angle was wrong...

Both sides comparision:

Probably a junkyard replacement from a MX-6 or something relatively similar in the mazda world before you had the car.

The ones I sent you are alright? I had 4 sets, all from MX-3's and they were all the same style... so I just assumed they were the real deal... :shrug:

and is the paint coming off of them? :x

After looks good. The two on the left pic #6 look wrong.
