Default Correct wiper blade alignment 970-1 T

Took off wipers. Replaced blades. Correct or not?

They look fine - do they rotate down properly and line up along the bottom of the windshield?

Wasn’t sure if ”spoiler” is on top or bottom of drivers side wiper and whether passenger wiper is concave when parked. Concerned I flipped the wipers when I remounted them. No clearance problems. Just couldn’t find a pic to compare.

Yes, spoiler is on top. They look fine to me but your best test will be when it rains.

I think I gave you some bad advice - just washed my car and noticed the spoiler is at the bottom on the drivers side. When in the off position it helps apply downforce on the blade. Try switching them both as the convex shape on the passenger side should be downward.

Thanks for updating. Didn’t look right but functioned fine reversed, at least up to 80. Will switch tonight.
