Default Re: Wiper grommets the same?

1) Are both grommets installed on yours? Mine was missing on the driver's (US=left) side.

2) If you have a driver's side grommet, is it the same size as the other?

Here's a dark pic of the locations:



Thanks!
Isolator requires 1.5 inch dia. opening, driver side is smaller and off center, however it can be modified with an exacto knife to allow the isolator to fit.
