This morning, while washing the car, I noticed that a piece was missing from the passenger side wiper. It is an L-shaped thing that snaps on to the leading edge. Anybody know what it is called? Is it a Mini-specific thing (buy from Mini) or generic (auto parts store)? What does it do? It looks like it might be a kind of high-speed hold-down....

 

If you're talking about the little aero wing on the driver's side and thinking there should be one on the passenger's side.......... you might be right, but MINI never installed one there

 

I thought this at one point too, but my dads MINI also didnt have one... so either we both lost the same part, or it never came on that side

 

They arent equipped on that side of the car.

 

Well, duh! Thanks, y'all, can't believe I never noticed that. Yikes, I am getting old.
