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

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.

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:
