Windshield wiper issue

does anyone else's wiper not collapse all the way down? It drives me nuts how it rests on the glass a couple inches above dash.

Isn't that how they're supposed to be? I don't know of many vehicles that still offer "depressed park" wipers these days.

Mine sit a few notches lower on the shaft. If you pull out the little keeper tab, you can rotate it down a few clicks lower. I do that on both my wipers whenever I change them out. The shaft they sit on is like 25 small splines, so even lowering 3-5 will make it quite bit lower, but you may see that where they overlap may not be enough.
