let's start over-
anyone ever seen a single windshield wiper for a jap car?

really really really really stupid and gay and dumb

 

why, do you think it's german specific?

 

Nope, just really gay in general.

 

 

really think it's that bad?
obviously i've never seen it on a jap car. such a small detail. i'm thinking it's different.
and i'm gathering it's against code or something...

 

are you doing this for weight reduction? (1 wiper vs the weight of 2...)

 

You may not have seen it, but we all have. Everyone was doing that about 3-5 years ago, and finally realized how ridiculous it is to have your passenger stare at your windshield wiper arm all day long. Not to mention... it's just gay! haha.

Do what you want, but I doubt anyone here will like it. Again though, it's your car; do what you like...

 

Yeah it's kinda stupid on a daily driven car. Most race cars that only have one wiper do it for arodynamic reasons.

 

and really really really ugly and gay

 

Actually there is a company called Bonrath that makes a single-wiper mechanism for VW's, Audis, and BMW's. I doubt it would work on a Honda, though. It sweeps the entire windshield 180 degrees, and you can have it park on the bottom at either side, up in the middle or wherever you want. Oh, it's also German TUV approved.

The Bonrath Sportwiper:

 

Single wiper conversion (simply put):

Impractical - Unwise to implement or maintain in practice.

 

german cars use single wipers on touring cars, IE race cars. not street cars.

 

Dude, if your thinking about that, I may have to kick your ***...

 

C'mon guys! Be helpful instead of just flaming the guy.

Here's a do-it-yourself for CRX's... I assume it translates to most Hondas

stock is fine, why waste money ???

 

You DO know what this "conversion" consists of, right?

You take off one wiper, and stick the other one up a little. I don't know why anyone would do something like that. You can't see anything in the rain, and your passenger will be staring at a wiper if it's not raining.

A while ago some kids probably saw some touring cars on TV and thought it would be cool to copy them.

 

Only like them on Benzes where they come stock and wipes the whole winshield.

Some Jaguars from the 90's had a simple single wiper, not a complicated one like on Benzes.

 

****

 

 

?

 

yes ive seen it done on many a civic and to me it just looks like your car is from mexico and/or one of the wipers is broken. sooooo ugly. You don't want to do that man. One wiper is ****-eyed all all times and the single wiper kits break and don't clear your window for **** in the rain. Why have 1 when you have 2 that work fine?

If you get one
