Does anyone else's drivers side wiper hang over the windscreen. I have just replaced mine with 22" Bosch blades from Halfords. Every set i've had on the car have all hung over the glass. Is there a way to either
a. shorten the arm
b. somehow pull the whole unit back towards the passengers side a bit more
or
c. adjust the unit so the wiper blade applies more pressure to the glass.
Any suggestions.

22" aero. Its the one with 'the thing' on the drivers side wiper only. The overhang is so massive i dont think 21" would be enough to get all of it on the glass.

Explain my phase one that rolled of the production line with 2 x 22" wiper blades factory fitted then? 
Its the size of the wiper arms that dictate the size of the wiper blades, early 206's had different size wiper arms.
