    With this sort of "unbent" arm, the correct passenger side wiper is 350mm length.
    The driver side wiper is 550mm.
    Looks fine to me. Why is it too long to you?

    I thought that too for a sec. Looks like it's over the reflection of some power lines.

    To address the rattle sound, I would replace the wiper blade with a lower profile one. It looks like it has the older style wiper blade with the exposed metal frame. They are several different wipers on the market now that have a lower profile that would most likely catch less wind.

    I would test a different wiper blade before replacing the straight wiper arm with the bent one. It could be a cheaper fix at least.
