    I was looking at my wiper arm on the passenger side the other day, and I don't know if it was me or one of my mechanics, but it looks like it has been leaned on and is shaped wrong now. I've posted a picture below.

    Could I trouble someone here to take a picture of a good one so I can re-arch mine back to health?

    Thanks!

    Mine looks identical. Same crease and inward bow. But it works fine, as far as 328 wipers go.

    Okay, here's a pic of mine. I think it is fine, but my "arm" does not touch the back of the blade, like yours appears to do. We have different blades. Mine appears to be original to the car...or so I suspect, as it looks very similar to the original ones on my previous 308. Yours appear to be a more recent Bosch design (?).

    Man, which is worse, you worrying about your wiper arm, or me running out and checking mine, and posting a photo/response? :)

    Thanks for the help guys!

    I guess it's the way it's supposed to be.
    I did replace the blades recently and I think they in fact were the Bosch, good guess!
    That kink looked a bit too deliberate to have been created by a mechanics' elbow, but it did worry me when pieces are touching, or nearly touching. That will always ring alarm bells with me.

    Love your "Orange" car, Dave, guess their F1 Advertising made you want it on your car?

    Just kidding, I know you probably used Fuji film or something, it's red, I know.

    Best!
