Looking at the rear of the car the arm and blade will be on the left side. Be sure that the arm is actually parked and off before you install it. I have seen people who replaced a wiper motor put everything together and turn them on and discover that the motor wasn't in park and the wiper tries to go the wrong way. There also should be some alignment dots or bars on the glass that you install the arm parallel to so it has the correct travel.
