Fleetwood wiper issue

I have a 2015 Fleetwood Bounder. I had a new windshield installed and the wipers do not cover the full drivers side. About 25% of the windshield does not get wiped. Does anyone have a video that shows the full correct coverage of wipers on a 2015 Fleetwood Bounder?

Did the wiper cover/wipe enough before the new windshield?

Sounds to me like maybe the glass guy reinstalled the wiper arms incorrectly.

I had the same problem on my 15 Discovery. I finally shortened the wiper arm assembly (about 3" piece) behind the front facia. But it was a PITA. Figuring out how much to shorten the pivot arm, waiting for rainy days, and then reattaching the the cut down piece. Took weeks. Then the 32" wiper ran off the edge of the window while driving. Ended up using much less expensive 28" blades.
Personally I would not do it again.
A doubt you will find a easy solution, live with it.

A bit much, but thanks. You must have the patience of a saint.

I have a call into Fleetwood. I will keep you informed.
