On a non-dust filter car there is a trim strip on each side of the wiper motor (from one side of the wiper motor to the windshield post).
If you want to open your hood and take a pic of the wiper area i can tell you which it is.
This has nothing to do with the air filter, this was a change in the wiper design. If the car has AC it has an air filter.
