Default 05 plate V70 rear wiper - which hand?
Some kind soul snapped my rear wiper arm housing. The blade inside is fine.
When I look on tinterweb for a replacement, they all seem to rest to the right / offside of the car. Mine rests on the left….???
Cheers
Rog

LHD vs RHD?

I can find some pictures with them the "wrong" way eg here

Someone or something snapped mine a while ago too!

I bought a cheap new replacement one but be warned - they are flimsy and dont clear the screen effectively.

I have now bought a used OEM replacement. The new OEM ones are about £60!

Earlier P2 cars rest on the left, facelift P2 cars (circa 05 onwards ?) rest on the right and are a different design.

Try main dealer first for price and part number, if too expensive try e-bay/online breakers or motor factors.

My 03 and 04 pre-face lift V70s both had the arm rest on the right.

Maybe the change is earlier ? My MY 02 is on the left and my facelift MY 06 is on the right. Both V70 D5.

After a quick look on AutoTrader it seems the swap happened between 02 and 03. I guess they changed wiper motors

Weird that your 02 plate is on left, your 06 plate is on right but my 05 plate is on the left.?!
Thanks all for input so far
