This, every wiper out there now has a different design. Even the same brand seems to change month to month. They must have a team of engineers just redesigning the attachments too. Just when I get one figured out, next time I have to get out the reading glasses and decipher the instructions that are apparently written in ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs.
