172 Wipers the wrong way round??

[C2kev]

Its not really a problem but just wandering if all 172's are like this. My wipers sweep towards the passenger side instead of the drivers side, is this normal? anyway to change them around or would it mean a new wiper motor

i think they are all the same bud

French cutting corners. They're the correct side for a left hand drive car. They just never bothered swapping them around for us

Welcome to the world of 172 ownership.

Or MK2 ownership to me more precise.

cheers for the replies. I'll put it down to the French being lazy cheap snail botherers then

While this is true,it means that when you wash your windscreen, they push the water to the passengers side which is less likely to have an open window, hence not throwing the water in on your lap. I think it's awesome tbh.
