Default Swish, swish, swish, twang.....

So went my new OEM Honda-Dealer fitted wiper blade (driver side).
I hadn't noticed the spoiler was the wrong way up. They'd fitted the driver blade upside-down! As it wasn't notched in properly, it went flying off into the bush last night in the rain, in the dark. I found it thankfully and fitted it the right way.

Hyndland Honda...if you're watching....

It wasn't until I changed mine at the weekend that I noticed that the previous Honda dealer had put them on the wrong side - 20 on drivers side, 16 on passenger.

It's just as well you can't get up much speed on Arran..

that spoiler fitted upside down could have seriously affected the handling

Hmmmmm.....

I have been told that this was the correct setting. Why do you think it is wrong?

You really should get changes like that done by people who know what they are doing, Graham!
