another wiper problem

I got my windsheid replaced last summer because of a crack (caused by something flying out of the back of a pickup truck..grr) and ever since then when i'm using them when they sweep up the drivers side one goes a little too far. The blade actually goes off the window like an inch and makes a loud racket every time it swipes. I"m thinking that they just didn't put the wipers back on the right notches. I'm going to take it apart this weekend and look at it. Anyone got any suggestions?

Aside from that i have a funny story about the car shop that replaced it. I took it to carstar (autobody shop cause i was getting some paintwork done as well) and when i took it in i told him just to save himself some time and order the glass from subaru. It will be just over $1000 (insurance was paying so i didn't really care) and it will take a few weeks to order. Well Mike just scoffs at me and says that he has contacts all over the country and that he is willing to bet that he can find one that will work on my car for a few hundred. I take the bet (just a gentlemans bet lol) and I ask him how much time he needs. He tells me to check back at the end of the week (it was monday).

Well thursday i get a call from him at work. The first words out of his mouth are "you win". I laugh and ask him if he found anything at all. He said that he did. There was one other glass company that makes one for our cars called National Glass but they wanted $3200 for the glass by itself lol. He said that he called the subaru dealership already and placed the order for the glass and it will be $1100 and they should have it by tuesday lol
