Windshield wiper error

[Malibu46pt]

I mistakenly offset the windshield wiper holes in the body in the wrong direction. Flipped 180 degrees.
The car is painted. Has anyone else made this mistake. What are my options.

Do you have a picture

You might get lucky & find a car with the wiper blade arms bent the opposite direction. Then you just mount the new wiper blades & let everything else work as intended. The sweep would be reversed, but you'll be the only one that knows.

Or you can try heating the wiper blades & reversing the bend. It'll take a good amount of heat. I tried heating my wiper arms to that they'd rest more parallel with the bottom of the windshield, but I chickened out.

One option is to use the Specialty Power Windows wiper kit. the drive unit can be set up to run in either direction (and sweep degrees can also be tuned) so you could set your wipers up in basically a mirror image of the "normal" configuration and have them sweep in the opposite direction. They sell wiper arms bent in either direction. It might look a little funky if someone is paying close enough attention but might be better than drilling another set of holes. I used the SPW kit on my roadster build.

Just replace the arms. Moss motors has MGB wiper arms in both LHD and RHD.

Does anyone know which arms are supplied with the kit LH or RH

If you need a RHD kit, there is an excellent supplier in Australia
