Single Windshield Wiper Mod

[starchland]

i added a wiper to my honda badge so that its always visible.

[MikeW]

it's usually a longer blade on the passenger side.

It's actually longer on the driver side.

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

Says the guy who never drives his car in the rain.

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!

Im interested in said "trick". And of course, a mod im not so sure of, Ronald does and makes me want to do it, lol.

I like this mod because it looks like your windshiled has a rainbow or just somehow looks happy, lol.

The way Ive heard or was told is that you move your passenger arm over to the driver side pivot and voila. Takes some trial and error, of course, but beyond that, i think it would just be a matter of mixing and matching blades and arms to meet your preference. Like Ronlad said, different drivers sit and different heights and positions.

And this is just a thought, but wouldnt you be going through blades at about the same rate? Because one blade is now wiping the entire windshield as opposed to only about half....

like a mercedes wiper?

[MikeW]

Yes.

[CB7 Sleeper]

iv never seen it done, however, it sounds like a dumb idea IMO. i would like to see it if it was done though, sounds interesting.

[MikeW]

There are pics of it in this thread........

You wouldnt be postwhoring would you? Thats the only reason i can think that you would miss the pics...

Haha yeahh too bad it's not a full-on rainbow like those Mercs!! If only the passenger side pivot is right at the dead center of the windshield, this would've been possible...Unfortunately it's not, so a 135 degree wipe is the best it could get!!

As for the wiper blade, it doesn't seem like it gets more fatigue from this conversion...But I do change it once every two years, due to the amount of rain we get here in Raincouver! Not to mention the snow and ice in the winter time...Perhaps if I live in SoCal, the blade would last about 10x longer

I've thought about this the past year or so, but it would've been nice if I can adapt the wiper assembly off a RHD CB, just to move the "center" pivot more towards the passenger side so I can have the rainbow go the other way around as opposed to my current setup...And after that I'd just get a longer blade, so my side would get a complete coverage, and the wiper arm won't have to rotate as far...I'd feel bad for my passenger tho

Now if only the RHD wiper motor assembly can bolt on directly onto our cars, this would've been done a long time ago! All I'd need after that would be the RHD plastic cover that covers the wiper motor assembly..Unfortunately, it looks like some work will need to be done...Perhaps a future plan?

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

What year of Odyssey are you referring to? My 99' is just like the cb. I know that older dodge vans had that style, and i think they are ugly as balls lol

[choppacity]

I had this but put it back to stock because it just got annoying. Just take the drivers side wiper, put it on the pass. motor and angled up a few teeth

[standard125r]

The Mercedes mono-wiper actually pushes out to the corners of the windshield. It'll make you sick to watch it from the interior, but this video shows it pretty good. It would be sick to put the whole Benzo set up on a CB7.
