Hi,
Wondering whether someone can help? Gradually getting to know my car and starting with the basic things first (see other thread... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... I ordered a set of Bosch wiper blades from Design 911 and went to fit them to my 996 this morning (they sell a package of both driver and passenger front wiper blades which I purchased). I have noticed that the driver's side one seems like it is appropriate for LHD vehicles with the wind-deflector piece protruding upwards (see pics below of old vs new). Has Design 911 sent me the wrong part or is there a way of reversing the clip to set the wind-deflector piece to correctly point downwards (don't want to force it if the clip is not designed to pop out)?


Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry

Fixed! Found the plastic piece attached to the blade that connects up to the arm can be removed and then reinserted the other way round (now RHD appropriate!).
