Just fitted new wiper blades, but I notice that the drivers side /
windscreen
one doesn't have the aerofoil blade on it - does anybody know what
effect this is likely to have?

I am sure Mr Ford wouldn't have fitted the aerofoil if it wasn't necessary!

TIA

they only put the foil on the driver blade. being more in the centre of the
bonnet it has a tendency to lift when you approach warp speed.

Even with a spoiler on the 24inch drivers side ( go to 24" drivers, 18"
passenger to lessen the dribble zone in the middle) blade, they still lift
off the screen at around 90mph...

(on a track, obviously....;o) )
