Driver side windshield wiper is much larger, heavier, wider and more "heavy duty" than right side (passenger side) and passenger side wiper is much smaller in all respects; not as substantial as driver side wiper. Not only does it not do a good job of cleaning window adequately, it leaves a substantial part of the window untouched by the smaller wiper.
With special "hard core bug" windshield washer fluid, driver side wiper can usually dispose of recently acquired bug spots that hit the window when driving. (90% success rate) Passenger side wiper smears bugs and if it actually removes some of the dead bug guts, always leaves some of either the smear or actual dead bug. This after squirting 4 or 5 times with windshield washer fluid.
