single windshield wiper conversion

[jay82985]

has any body done it and can i get a list of stuff i would need to do it

I THINK you just remove the drivers side arm and put that arm and a bigger blade on the passenger's side. That's how i've seen it done (although this wasn;t a cb7)

If you do it, write a DIY

u put the big windshield wiper in the middle but i wouldn't reccomend it

[Ralphie]

yea all you do is take one off, put the other in its place and crash your cb when it pours buckets and the system designed to remove excess water from your windsheild fails miserabley to have a cool windshield wiper mod.


Na but for real some civic dudes told me it wasnt worth it, for shows maybe but not for DD.

x2 to what has already been said.. I used to have only one wiper arm so I had a setup like that.. I hated it.. As soon as I found one at a junkyard I did away with the single wiper setup.. It had to be positioned just right or you were missing half of the windshield, and in a downpour you can use as much of the windshield cleared as possible especially when your attempting to drive on the highway.. I would NOT do it unless you really think it looks that cool and you arent worried about driving in the rain with half of the windshield still covered in water even with the blade in the center.. It will still only clear so much of the windshield and from my experience that was NOT enough.. Later

i SHOULD be mad at this thread since technically the guy was asking for help, not all your personal opinions. But since safety is a factor on this one i'll let it slide. Just be careful.

we wuz just showing him the cb7 way mang...no harshness....

i wasn't being harsh. Alot of things are said in here that didn't need to be, for example, everyone's personal feelings on what he wants to do. However, since there were alot of safety warnings involved ,i'm ok with the little bit of opinion thrown in also. Just saying be careful. I don't need 20 members coming in here saying how stupid a uni-wiper looks. That doesn't help anything

[Ralphie]

no no i wasnt saying you were being harsh i was saying we werent really being harsh...just trying to point out how bad of an idea it is...

sure its personal opinions but its deff not safe.

WTF!>!?!

I say its not worth it my friend did it to his civic back in the "days" He had his windshield wiper on max speed and it flew off...I dont recommend it.

ROFL NAils man i just burst into laughter at work and peeps are like wtf is wrong with you

omg thats so funny....

[teknikalitch]

ya so i have it done. as said above no money needed aside from the bigger blade. how i positioned it? turn your wipers on and stop them and the point of return. thatll get it done. as far as being able to see. ya its rough, not to mention that my passengers bitch about the wiper being in their way when its not raining. have fun, but ya caution is the word of the day.

i have done it and it's not the old school style.

mine actually gets a about 160 degree.

i will do a write up with Ronald and make a video of it in action when i get my car back.
