Which way up for curved wiper blade.

I bought a set of replacement wiper blades, I notice the shorter passenger side blade is curved. It fits both ways but I am unsure as to the correct position.
I have it arched upwards because it sits lower??

That's a new one on me. I've just bought some replacement blades but they're both straight. I agree that what you've done looks right but I wonder whether it will increase the chance of juddering if the screen's too dry?

Which ever way I put the blade on, it always sits at 90° to the screen and seems to wipe nice. It's the parking place which is effected. I think it makes the blade lower so it doesn't obscure your view if you sit low.

Probably some marketing to get rid of some blade that someone sat on :lol:
