wipers easy question

i saw that there are 2 separate part numbers for the wipers (the arm and the black cover) but is there i difference between them?? does it matter if i install the one from left on right or vice versa?

With separate part numbers, I would assume there is a difference. Otherwise, they would be the same part number. So, it would matter which way you install them.

It does matter. I bought an aftermarket hood and and accidentally switched the wiper arms when reassembling. At first I thought something was wrong with the hood as the arm was hitting it (passenger side). Swapped arms, all good.

Could the arms be different lengths, because I believe the drivers wiper is longer than the passenger?

I ended up using the 98+ on mine, they look cleaner IMO. Also I know the 98+ covers can be swapped side to side even though they show different numbers, not sure on the 93-97 style.
