Single Windshield Wiper Mod

[evil_demon_01]

You mean have one on top of the windshield??

That would be awful.. lol

They work like Odyssey wipers, As above one clock wise, one anticlock wise. Wiping from the centre outwards

I took both mine off years ago, who needs 'em. Later.

Function>Form.

Yeah after I posted that I remembered the other way they go. There's an overspray that repels water really well that goes on windshields. I have something similar that I use on the mirrors in the bathroom.

Just keep them the way they are now.

A PROPER single wiper would be neat ... ala Early Mercedes / Scirocco

Woahh thread revival!

My JTCC style single wiper conversion..


This conversion is a trademark of 604_cb7, the originator


Pics of our dirty cars/windshields to show the range of how far the wiper arm goes..





Mike a.k.a. 604_cb7 is running a longer wiper arm/wiper blade while I run the shorter one...The different setup is due to difference in our body height..I'm about half his height Different height, different preferences..

In a way this is a selfish conversion, because the passenger will get a bit of blind spot on the right side of the windshield..But the driver gets full view..And the best part is, no wiper arm stuck halfway across the windshield like the other ricey uni-wiper style

The main reason I decided to do this was because my wiper motor was starting to die on me....Doing this conversion saves my wiper motor since it now only has to run 1 wiper arm instead of two..3 years later and the wiper motor is still running!

where'd you find the wiper motor? i understand the idea behind it and all but where did you get one? lol

I've seen sports cars that come with one wiper...don't like how it looks, and, I have trouble getting TWO blades to clean my windshield in rain...can't possibly see ONE doing the job.

Maybe if it was a show car ONLY and didn't actually see the road

I planned on it, if any mod I see useful at this point is motors on the corners just like an Ody would...

I think you need better wiper blades man Two is always better than one of course...But when your wiper motor can't handle two arms, one blade will have to do! I've always loved how single wiper looks, ever since I started watching JTCC back in the days...

I've been running Rain-X wiper blades ever since the conversion, and it cleans very well...When it comes to rain, can't really mess around..Especially here in Vancouver where it rains 300/365 days! but I've never had a problem with one blade cleaning my windshield ever since I did my conversion 3 years ago...and God knows how hard it rains over here! My windshield wiper works very well thanks to 604_cb7 and his trick, and now my CB will never see two wiper blades running across the windshield! Two wiper blades is just tooo.....Ordinary Oh and my car is nowhere near a show car, and it sees the road every single day, whether it's sunny, rainy, foggy, icy or snowy

Certain japanese cars come with a uniwiper as well. Not sure about nowadays but my first car was a handme down 89 subaru xt. Ever hear of it? it had a uniwiper from the factory I didnt like it at all but i would love to get another one of those cars knowing what i know now. They made a gt version as well from what i understand 6cylinder turbo....i dunno it looked like a cheese wedge but it was cool. use a lot of rainex any way u go you'll b fine.
