Wiper blade Question
My Crossfire has the wiper blades "air foil" on the passenger side blade.
I always thought that was strange, but this evening RickZ pointed out that his is on the drivers side, as was Tom2112's SRT's.
Does anybody else have the air foil on the passenger side? Or did my car accidentally wind up with wiper blades meant for the United Kingdom, or Japan?

Seriously though, as we know the left and right wiper arms are different lengths and shapes, and my drivers side wiper arm looked like it was identical to RickZ's driver side wiper, only mine didn't have the airfoil on it.
At first I thought they simply got em mixed up, but they seem to be the correct arms for there location.
I was just wondering if anybody else (who had a left hand drive XF) had the airfoil on the passenger side like mine does.

old man - i wonder if someone added an additional foil to the passenger side?? it does seem a bit more symmetric.

I ain't got none! Could someone post a photo? I think the dealer I bought mine from was truly a "stealer". I think mine are from a Cobalt!

I measured them and the driver's side is 20" and passenger is a 22".
OK, I'm not sure what's right or wrong or if it even matters, but the ones on +fireamx's are just like mine only switched side to side, and Tom2112 's SRT was the same as mine.
I kinda assume the stuff on mine is original, but I never really know for sure since I am the second owner.

Here's my question, is the foil supposed to be up or down? I only have one on the drivers side and when I bought my car the foil was up. I then heard the foil was supposed to be pointing down. I've heard two stories, up for the snow and ice, or down for air stability. Any answers ???

There suppose to the other way around.
Neither one of mine have air foils and seem to work just fine without. At least they did drivin in thru the buckets of rain hittin I-35 this mornin ! Geez ! And I just washed and waxed her Friday !
Grrr !
My two cents.

You just have to go to the dealership and order them. If you ask for the drivers side it will come with the foil. Just ask for oem crossfire wipers. They were $16.95 each at my dealership, but since they have a 12 month warranty mine were free.
