????,
Which splash shield goes on which side? Is the "scooped" in (towards the center of car) slot supposed to be near the top or the bottom? I'm assuming it goes on the bottom with the scoop facing rearward to suck heat and water away, but I just want to be sure. If it were on top facing forward, it seems that it would "scoop" water and debris towards the rotor.
Thank You In Advance,
Gene

The scoop goes on the front, to scoop cool air into the brake.
