Is this the ugliest wiper blade known to man?
I really hate to dog on Michelin Wiper Blades. I've used them for years and their CS people even sent me a free adapter kit (which I didn't know was even sold) to install their new Advanced Silicone wiper blade. I think one thing that makes it look so wrong is the adapter kit offsets the wiper blade down under the wiper arm. As bad as I want great performing wiper blades I'm not sure if I can go for this look...

No, the truck needs paint. But right now I could care less about paint, the trim IS there just painted black, and the antenna is rubber.

I can't bend the wiper arm to solve this. But I am thinking about switching them out with a "J" hook style wiper arm that some models came with. Ford Rangers have the same style "J" hook and the wiper blade comes with an adapter to fit correctly. That's essentially what the bolt on adapter they sent me is. A "J" hook style adapter that bolts onto my straight arm wiper blade.
No. It's still ugly. How about an ice cream cone? That'll make me forget about it for a few.

The books typically show the right side blade an inch or two longer than the should be. I don't know if this accounts for the raised seating position but it definitely doesn't sit right, in a resting position the wiper "per the interchange book" sits proud of the glass due to its length.

How does it sit where?
Did I install the arms incorrectly?
