hi, notices the passener wiper blade wasnt clearing the window proeprly and there was a slight knocking noise wen they went back down so got new blades, fitted them fine, but noticed that the passenger blade is sitting on the edge of the plastic at bottem of the window, and the main bit of the arm is also hitting the plastic, after further inspection, i noticed the actual arm feels quite loose and rolls about abit,yet the drivers side doesn't seem affected, i tried to see if they wudlk coem off the spindle just to move it up abit but they wuldnt come off.
is this a common problem? and is there any easy repairs?
 
Rallycinq has described exactly what you need to do. Just make sure that when 'parked', the wiper sits above the plastic trim at the bottom of the windscreen. The wiper blade is held onto a splined drive so you may need to lift it off for readjustment.
