Wiper arms that use single grooved pivots either 4.8mm or 6.3mm, can go on either way.

Which way do wipers get installed?
Which way faces up?
Some of the blades have an arrow, which way would the arrow point?
 
They look like this

I didn't think it mattered. If it does, I've been doing it wrong my whole life.

It wont matter I suppose, the instructions don't tell you. On some beam blades there is an embossed arrow.

The pinhole is offset, so the blade will be longer in one direction than the other.
 
I have to imagine the arrow would point rearward so the aero foil thing holds the wiper down.

But if it works poorly, try the other way.
