Has anyone changed their wipers before? To my surprise, managed to get a Bosch 24" wiper on the right side. However, for some odd reason didn't manage to get it on the left side. Seems like the hook on the wiper arm is in the wrong direction? The opening of the hooks on the arms are both facing away from the car :

However the problem seems to come in because both the arms go down to the right. The original bmw wiper (old and crusty) is totally different than the wipers available today. It has special room for the hook and wiper blade is offset'ed to the front a bit. Any help will be appreciated :)

PS both the left and the right take 24" wipers right? if not, darn you Pep Boys! :)
