has any body got/had a single wiper conversion on their car? any body driven in the rain?

 

they are fine ,as mercs etc have been using single wipers for years ,storm is the market leader ,but for me I hate the way they dont park low down on the screen like OE ones would

 

as above - Storm ones are good, had one on my S1 and FRS back in the day lol

 

Got a Storm one on my S2, it's naff and will be swapped for standard linkage.

 

looked good on touring cars and thats about it really. saing that i did have one on my xr2i 10 years ago lol. Parked in the middle aswell

 

thats exactly the look i'm going for haha i want it parked in the middle aswell

 

My MK1 Golf GTi Cabriolet has one, it was fitted to the car when I got it. Looks cool IMO, but it misses some of the screen in the eyeline as it was fitted to the passangers side mounting point rather than the drivers. Done for the Euro look I guess.

 

i made one for my pug 306 years ago. used a wiper of a bx and cut and extended the linkage for a longer sweep. Very easy! It parked in the middle too

 

I made my own on my Mk2 Fiesta years ago and that parked in the middle have bought a storm kit a few months ago and i can aprk the wiper down low now

i made my own for my escort, its still on it and works well, parked in the middle too,

 

I had one on a mk3 astra a few years back, thought it was the tits at the time!

 

Single wipers are a bit 90's

 

i have one on my Punto, parked down in the scuttle with a smooth cover on the arm. It works fine, i have the washer jets on mine's and have no complaints. It's a Storm one as well

 

...and the car was made in the 80's, lexus lights are a bit more noughties... would you rather i followed that route?

 

id rather you just left 2 wipers on it it clears the windscreen better - trust me.

 

Can someone post some pics of theirs??

 

if your a lanky twat like me they are crap i used to have a single wiper set up on my mk2 escort but i always ended up looking out the top right hand corner that the blade did not reach i have now gone back to two wipers again so i can see better .

p.s. it is very 90,s though

 

Not to my taste, I'm afraid, but your car to do what you want with.

The Mercedes ones use a cam system so the wiper can reach up into the corners of the screen, but retracts down as it goes vertical to avoid going off the top of screen.

Sorts out this problem:
