Default Wiper Blade Replacement Direction

I am in the process of replacing the wiper blades on my 997, but because the car had non original blades, I have no idea which side is up for the new original Porsche blades. On the drivers side there is a small plastic spoiler, when mounting, is that on the top of the blade, or the bottom? On the passenger side the blade is curved. Does the curved end face down or up? A picture of the correct orientation would be wonderful if someone has one. Thanks!

Sorry for the poor quality, one overhead light bulb in the garage needs to be replaced

Driver side - flap goes on the bottom


Passenger side - curve upwards

Does Porsche (or any other good wiper blade company) make a WINTER blade for 997?

Great thread, in fact I did my first DIY last week with the change of old wiper blades. I just went and checked and had one of them upside down, quick change and all is solved!
