Anyone had any issues with these? I have them, fairly recent addition, fitted ok but drivers side blade doesn't sit flat on the screen for the last inch or so.
Both 22" if I remember correctly.
Could the wiper arm itself have been refitted poorly when I had a new screen?
The wiper fails to clear that last inch as well so doesn't correct itself as it sweeps.

Possibly wrong size. From memory one is 22” the other 21”. Othrvthan that I’ve had no issues with Bosch Aeroblades LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

I had exactly the same problem with Bosch blades. Had replacements from the supplier and a little better. I believe the packaging , keeping them straight, distorts the ends.

Don't know which year or model you have so hard to confirm size. I have a 2016MY and it took 2 x 22" wiper blades.
In answer to your question, I have no issues with them clearing the screen but I've been disappointed with them as they are slightly clunky at the end of the sweep, and noisy/ squeaky when they wipe. When I spray screen wash they quieten down and are fine. I've refitted but still the same. I've used them before on another car and they have been excellent. Gary

Maybe the arm is bent. I had similar issues a year or more ago and there was a thread on here suggesting the wiper arms do bend out of shape. Bought a new arm, problem resolved with the same wiper blade. MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff

I'm running with these and the noise of the silence is deafining.

Will investigate that tomorrow, if it is then doubt auto windscreens will take any responsibility as its been over a month since the new screen
