    Hey All,

    I had my windshield replaced on my 2017 3G today, and I think Safelite reversed the arms? I am not sure but they look different and I can't tell which side is which and the markings on the backside of the arms DO NOT match anything online or in the Toyota parts listings. I can say one of them has a more distinct bend towards where it attaches to the wiper blade. I thought this was on the drivers before. Anybody that has NOT had them off etc. can confirm which is which? Thanks!!!!!

    Judging by a pic I pulled from google.
    The drivers side looks like it has more of a "bend" where it attaches.

    Thanks for the pic! That is what I believe I had before. WHY DID I NOT TRY Googling for a truck pic! Duh!

    That's the way my wife's Rav4 is but her driver's side wiper is 26" versus 16" passenger.

    Whip out the measuring tape and see what size is on what side, and post it up
