What is the right position of the windshield wiper arms? Is the one with the bend on the right or the left of the car? I've been looking at some pictures and I've seen both.

If you drive on the right, it would be on the right, BUT..... Some owners have done the wiper arm reversal mod so it will run backwards and the arm will have been rebent.

Pros to doing this mod are the arms park more out of the drives field of view and it clears a bigger area of the drivers windscreen.
Many other manufacturers have used this direction forever.

Con is the windscreen clearing is slower by a small amount and it's not OE "correct".
The argument is Porsche did it this way as it could be very important when racing.
