Default Windshield wipers

What's the correct orientation for the deflector; above the wiper blade or below? It's just a matter of remounting if this is wrong. Also, should this deflector be on the driver's side only or on both sides of the car?

On my RHD 2005 XK8 the one deflector was mounted below the right hand blade on the driver's side so the airflow forced the blade onto the glass.





I expect your LHD will follow the same logic on the left hand blade.

Only if you did not upgrade both sides like I did using the Jaguar kit.
