Driver's side windscreen wiper wind deflector position?

Post by ajsl » Tue Feb 08, 2005 8:56 pm

Hi.

I got my car back today after having it serviced, part of which included getting new windscreen wipers.

Anyway, I noticed that the wind deflector on the driver's wiper is now the other way around and is attached to the underside of the wiper (see below), when before it was on the top of the wiper.

Does this look ok, or should I put it back the way it was ?

Cheers,
Alex.

Mines on the bottom like the picture, I would say this is now on the correct way.

The deflection of the wind will force the wiper onto the glass which is what you want when you doing 150mph on a private runway ;-0
