And these wiper ARMS were somewhat more. I know this because I bought replacements when I damaged the originals doing something stupid. The DS wiper ARM cost me $66.00 back in 2011; the PS wiper ARM was $31.50. (Note: Vendor I purchased these from called me after I placed my order & sold me the M-B SLK-320 P/N's which were cheaper than the Chrysler P/N's. Same parts!)
Now, if someone has a Crossfire with a PS wiper ARM that has a spoiler, this could have been purchased as a replacement for the PS OEM wiper ARM. Nothing stopping anyone from doing that.
Like I said earlier, if I'm wrong about this and these are in fact replacement wiper ARMS, then it is a VERY GOOD price! But the exploded view on the website shows these parts as Part #4 - a wiper BLADE. The wiper ARMS are shown under Part #1
The OEM Crossfire came with a spoiler on the driver side blade frame, not the arm. The arm attaches to the spindle, held by a nut which is covered by the plastic cap. I had a Crossfire from new and the passenger side did not have the spoiler, only the driver side.
Attached is a photo of the OEM driver and passenger wipers. The driver side is at the bottom and the spoiler is easy to see.
