Wiper arms look at yours..
OK guys I have a question I pulled my wiper arms last night so I could clean them up and repaint them.. and I noticed that mine have the following on them (near the hold down nut)
DL
PL
now mine were on the car as
PL on the drivers side
DL on the passenger side
I am not sure if it matter or maybe it is right but I figured DL was drivers side and PL would be passenger side
if u guys could can u tell me what your wiper ars say on them and where they are located as in side of the car.
this is on the top of the arm next to the nut
easy to see with the hood down

DL has been on the drivers side and PL has been on the passengers side on all 3 of mine. Previous owner probably took them off and put them on the other side without knowing.

I'd have thought that the codes referred to a slight difference (maybe the angle of the arm?) but my dual "PL" set sits exactly like yours (i.e., horizontal at rest).
Given the provenance/history of my car I'm actually amazed it has Mazda wiper arms on it at all, much less the correct ones.
So basically, I dunno what the codes are for.

D = drivers side
P = passaneger side
L = left hand drive
they are different shaped and length....

Now for the $64 question...what's the difference between the two parts?
And DO NOT say, "Well, one has a "P" and the other has a "D"".

Actually it appears as though the DL one is longer.

I wonder if it's worth the effort to hunt down the correct one?

Amazingly, BOTH of mine are on correct. Tis weird.
The only difference I can see in them is the drivers side has an...indention or something on it already, I'm assuming so you can have your hood up and wipe your windows...other than that, I didn't see anything different.
