Just bought a front set of Bosch Super Plus, I've got the drivers spoiler one and the passenger one, but I'm not sure which way round they fit. The previous wipers had arrows indicating which way round they go, however for these I can't tell. Only noticeable thing is a slight curve to the wipers i.e. they are shaped like a bow.

Anyone know?
 
Golf Mk4.

I know for the drivers wiper, the spoiler has to be at the bottom right? How about for the passengers blade, should the curve itself curve upwards or downwards?

Spoiler at the bottom yes, as for the curve, not entirely sure! Not seen any that are curved before :S

I know.

Both blades have a slight curve in fact. They can either curve up towards the roof, or down towards the bonnet, depending on which way you fit them. At the moment I've fitted them curving upwards towards the roof, however it doesn't look right at all, as the bottom of my windscreen curves the other way... downwards. I might refund and get another pair, maybe these are faulty ones? :confused:

why not try putting them on the other way ?
 
know what you mean mate i bought a couple of the same yesterday and i thought it was weird that the spoiler points downwards but i looked on other cars and its all the same :)
 
Just been told by other Mk4 Golf owners that they're meant to curve upwards, so I was right then.

Hehe ^, it's the first time I've bought a pair of wipers, so yeah I was a little confused to start off with. :)
