If your using the dual blade wipers I'm yet to find anyone who hasn't had dramas with them
Goto Autobarn and spend $20 get them to for it and be done with it and move on

Bosch Aerotwin are the euro style aerodynamic wipers, I have them too, what issue are you having Craig? Mine have been good bar not sitting right down on the window... on the passenger side.

Didn't take that photo today but the issue is the drivers side, around the centre it drags water back on the down stroke, about 5cm wide and over 30cm long so right cross the line of sight. Not an issue in heavier rain or driving at speed. But it is an issue when clearing the screen around town. Its not dangerous as such, just distracting and annoying.

In all honesty , I have never seen these dual blade jobbiies work on anything
Ever
Anywhere
Under any circumstances

Why not just Goto Autobarn or Supercheap and get the Tridon units off the shelf the single blade unit for about $20 or so , get them to fit it for all of about $3 and a few minutes of their time and move on with life.

The Bosch AeroTwin only has one blade, no idea why it's called "AeroTwin"?

Do yourself a favour
This weekend is an EOFY sale at Autobarn
Go spend $25 or less
Get them to fit the plain Jane Tridon blades that work
And move on with life
