F1 wiper arms straight or bent at the end?

Hi can anyone confirm if the wiper arms for an f1 should be straight or have a kink in the end?
Mine are straight and the wipers sit annoyingly at about 10deg on the screen,
I've seen various pics with straight or kinked arms but I would like mine to sit parralel with the window seal so I'm guessing I need kinked arms?

The arms should have a bend at the end, and the blades should sit relatively parallel with the bottom of the glass when parked.

The arms and blades for a Jeep CJ work better than stock, and have an adjustable angle at the end. O'Reilly's part #'s: Arm TRI 51-062 Blade: TRI 33-101

They are the same diameter at the pivot and the right length (adjustable, too).
