One arm is slightly longer than the other, they look identical but are not.
If you look at the caps covering the wiper arm nuts, there is a little slot you use to ping them out with a thin flat blade screwdriver.
Good to know , being brand new to the P38 there is a lot to learn.

I had one of them in my 2A when i was going to college in the winter! Never had any flames though!! That might have been worth while

I bought one to use when my heater matrix leaked and I by passed it
My heater matrix on my P38 is currently leaking from the o rings after we changed the radiators.
Is it an easy fix ?

Yes and no. Easy fix with the right loooong screwdriver tool and driling a few holes (that the previous owner has already drilled), but fiddly too. They leak a lot. Some people change the matrix for an Audi one and do away with the O ring setup all together….. but that is a dash out job.

I changed to the Audi matrix without taking dash out. Visit PaulP38.com very good write up with photos on how to do it
