Euro wiper?

How do you convert the two wiper system to a single center wiper system. I really like the look of the single wiper and I have seen this convertion done on a couple of other rides. Just wondering if anyone could send me a site or help me out.

Thanks

just take off the passenger side wiper, and bend the drivers side slightly so when its off, its in the middle of the window.

but you will be luaghed at for having such a conversion, but to each his own.

Uhh thats the other way around, you take off the drivers side wiper and then adjust the pass side so its on the window at a 45 degree angle ... belive me, ive done it enough times :finger:

pop the hood
take out the 2 screws for each blade
bend the wiper up to release the driver side wiper
push the passenger side wiper to a 45 degree angle and replace the screws
done

I dunno if this is a volkswagen thing or not but my brother did this to his golf. he cut the linkage on the wiper arm and modified it so the wiper sat where it normally would then when he turned it on it wiped the whole window. i dont know if its possible to modify our wipers like that or not, but if we can it would be better to do that so you have nothing obstructing your view when you drive, but hey, thats just my2 cents. (which aint worth much cuz its Canadian) haha

I think it looks really stupid. The motors weren't designed to move the wipers with such a range they could actually wipe the whole window with just one wiper. Looks at the expense of safety is rice in my opinion.
