Anyone made a 1 Arm Wiper for 80/90?
I really dislike the wipers on my 80. I have good blades, Bosch
MicroEdge, and there is something about the whole setup that bugs me when it
rains. They doesn't cover much area, they just don't do it. I have been
look at pics of a 80 from Europe that has a custom 1 arm wiper. The 1 wiper
arm is connected in the stock location of the passenger's wiper. Instead of
the bent arm of the stock wiper it has a completely straight arm. I
happened by a picture of the car with a dirty winshield so I could see area
that the wiper is able to clear, much better than stock.
Now has anyone done this with an 80/90 on the list? I will also contact
the owner of the car and see what is involved. I am looking at the Bentley
and the only thing that I can't figure out is how would the motor allow the
wiper to move into the driver's side of the windshield. I assume that the
motor has a preset stopping point then goes back. Haven't gotten the motor
out yet to take a look, but is there a way to adjust the stop and go back
point? Although with a straight arm the wiper would already move further
over into the driver's windshield area because of the "off" position
difference. That wouldn't be enough to get the wiper all the way across the
driver's side though. Anyone?
Thanks!
