Faded Wiper Arm - Passenger Side

I have a '97 s14, and the windshield wiper arm on the passenger side has faded right down to the metal. I’ve noticed the same thing on many s14’s over the years - including my previous one.

If you take a close look, you can see it in the pic below. I find it strange that it only happens on the passenger side. Does anybody know what causes this?

get a new one?

^ That’s the rich man’s way of doing things :stuck_out_tongue: Get a bunch of newspaper and scotch tape, cover off everything around it, remove the wiper from the arm, and paint away! The wiper arms on my S13 were faded, I gave em a new coat of paint and now they look gorgeous.
