Windshield Wipers

Does your windsheild wipers have a louver on them ?

I have a 2002 4.6is

When brushing the SAV off this morning I notice 1 wiper has one and the other does not.

IS this an aftermarket add on ?

Aftermarket, no. That is factory. It was your drivers side wiper and it is there to use wind resistance to hold the wiper down while on at speed.

If you're talking about that black piece on the driver side wiper, then I asked that same question years ago when i got my X. It is supposed to be standard and not an aftermarket add on.

The more knowledgeable members can tell you what that is for but from the answers I got when I asked that question...its normal!

Yes, driver side only. Interesting how they manufactured it with only 1, kinda weird

Thanks for the input !!

The replacement Bosch Icon wiper blades are frameless and have the aerofoil built into every blade. They look a lot better too.
