I lined up the wiper arms of an 87 and a 90+ model years. There was a slight length difference of about 3/8 to 1/2 inch between the two. On one the car 24" inch blade worked and it did not work on the other - just enough difference to whack the trim. I needed to swap out the longer armed motor and I replaced it with a shorter arm so now the 24" works on all my 124s.

Until you can find a shorter arm, or shorten the arm you have, you are probable stuck with using 22", not driving in the rain, or living with the whack.

I don't remember which model year was shorter to begin with; I've swapped out motors too often to keep track.
