Single Windshield Wiper?

[Fly Rice Racer]

I don't really know how to explain this.....

There is a guy who lives down my street with a 96 accord with a single APC euroblade wiper setting at about a 45 degree angle on his windshield. I know these cars had 2 wipers to start with cause my dad has one.

How do I mod my dual wipers into a single wiper?

The only thing that I have thought of is to remove the left one and then rebolt the passenger side one so that it starts already half way up the windshield so it will reach the driver side.

Is this correct? Or is there more to it?

Thanks!

ahh yes..the infamous "euro wiper". as for what you said, your correct, just attatch the longer of the two wiper arms onto the passenger side and set it up at an angle to where it hits the driver's side but doesnt go over the windshield on the pass. side....actually, im sure you can figure this one out on your own.... OR, if you have some spare pocket change, get the actualy mono wiper setup done, or see if you can snag one off of a mercedes and rig that one up.

Wouldn't that not be a so-good idea if it rains anything harder than a drizzle? And does it burn out the little motor quicker, having to move a single blade the length of the whole windshield? It just seems like a step backward in efficency by having just one.
Not like it would effect me since it doesn't rain worth crap here, lol
I'm just curious...

istead of doin it tha ghetto way-- they make a single wiper converion kit-- to make tha arm like that of tha mercedes... its cost some $$ thought--- butwhateva Fly RICE -- your name says it all... 'u got rice baby, u got rice!!?' ~

tha only think tha wiper & that big A$S wing will do for u is make yoru car look hella dumb!!

People will look @ your car & laugh, knowing that its a CIVIC.... granted yes i drive a Civic-- because its cheap!!! - easy to hook up, cheap to fix... I would Much rahter have a S2000 - or an NSX, but they arent cheap cars...

DOnt make yoru car look too tacky... okay...
:sun:

and yet... I look and look, and STILL, can't see that BIG ass ugly wing on fly rice's car that Gusto was trashin' so much... am I really that blind?

[Fly Rice Racer]

Duatone, gusto is tying to rip on me after i asked about one in another thread.

Apparently now I am held responsible for asking questions and that makes me a ricer.

and so I post the following pic in gusto's honor......

Before you do this conversion, just think ahead and make sure you will like it in the longrun. My friend did it and he thinks it's retarded now because it's annoying looking at it all the time. Before you mod, just make sure you're going to like it, rather than just modding your car for the sake of modding.

Personally I think a car looks better with no wipers. I take my wipers off in the summertime and I think it looks way cleaner. Those are some of the perks to living in California. Plus your wipers will last longer.

That's also illegal

Way too much rain to do that here in South Carolina.

Thanks everyone!
