Default Wipers rest position

My Macan had recently some work done on it after a minor fender bender. I feel like now the wipers rest much higher than before. However, my observation is largely subjective and I might be wrong. Does anyone know how many inches / centimeters the wipers should be above the bottom windshield edge in their rest position?

None on the starboard (right) side and maybe 1/4 inch on the port (left) outside edge. The picture is of the right side blade.

My wipers set too high after a windshield replacement. Bugged me too. Adjusting them was easy (I watched a YouTube video). Just pop the caps off the bolt on the wiper arm, remove the metric nut. Remove the wiper arm (wiggle it if needed) and reinstall. Easy peasy.
