I've just bought some new Bosch Super Plus blades for my 01 C4 (pre facelift). Went to fit them and the wipers currently on the car have the spoiler above the arm (pointing to top of screen) but the new ones are the other way around. Which is correct? I don't want to break the blades trying to change the spoilers. :help:

Thanks

This happened me before! I bought wipers from the US for my 968, they arrived and I installed, I then drove at 80mph in the rain and the wipers lifted off the screen!

Simple case of wipers for a left hand drive on a right hand drive.....

On my 00 996 (prefacelift) I dont have spoilers? and these where OPC installed, don't be losing sleep if it doesn't fit!

Mike is one of your new blades curved? on my right hand drive car the passenger blade has a slight curve in it and the drivers is straight...you can see this illustrated in the owners manual...my ops installed blades have the curve, however the same size bosch blades in halfords are both straight...only difference if both straight will be the bottom left (from inside car) side of the screen will not get a full wipe.
