Default Wiper arm help!!!

Any and all 5th gen owners help me out really quick. I took off my wiper arms to touch them up and I don't remember if the longer arm goes on the driver side or was it the shorter side. Can someone go to their car really quick and confirm which arm goes where. Thanks! :thumbup:

The longer arm is always on the driver's side. If you look at the attachment points of the arms, you can see that the driver's side one has a greater radius to cover, so it must be longer.
