Ford said they have a lot of trouble with replacment blades due to the 'sensitivity' of how the blades sit on the windscreen

If Ford can't get it right who can?
Did they replace the blades or the inserts?

I changed them myself, the most difficult part of the job was remembering how to put the wiper arms in the service position! Must have taken all of 2 minutes to do the job and the blades worked perfectly. Sounds like typical Ford service dept. BS to me.
