Which way round are RHD wipers?

I think I have LHD wipers on my RHD as they don't wipe my side of the wind screen very well. They sit flat when they are on the passenger (left) side of the screen. Which way is for RHD and for LHD? Or were they the same. Cheers,

Your wipers are correct even though it looks wrong

ok, i only wondered because, a: they seem to give the passenger a better view in the rain and b: i saw some photos of LHD cars with the same wipers as mine.

If it's a Mk1 the wipers should be flat when parked on the drivers side, it may be that the arms are later and have the crank in the arm the wrong way, they can be modified to crank the correct way with a vice and a hammer with suitable protection for the arm.

Ha, I knew it! It is a mk1, hence my posting here. In the vice they go then. If I break them is there a source for mk1 wipers? minispares?
