Contracted a Rare form of GERMAN MONO!

is that me or linus? i dont have a mono-wiper

Directed at me - look at my sig pic.

Teaguer- That was my way of kindly wording that his adjustment was whack, but without being an ass. If he likes it straight up, then that's how it rolls on his car.

The wiper can be placed anywhere in the sweeping field which as a matter of fact is larger with the single wiper and the wiper makes much better contact with the windshield than the factory dual setup. Also in heavy rain the wiper is less distracting.( because I am a predator and attracted to movement) As the car stands now it is pretty ugly but what do you expect for $700. The S50 I am rebuilding for it will make it one significant sleeper.

I tend to like the look of it stopped in the middle ...or even all the way down on either side .

Years back I had an Audi that deleted the drivers wiper and the pass side was set to about half way up on the pass side sorta like the DTM car in your sig .
Can't say that I could live with that set-up today though .

With hacksaw, mig welder and acetylene torch the mono viper can be constructed in ~1,5h, with no additional parts.

Idea is to shorten pivot arm (~12mm)at lever belov the drivers side viper, then the passenger side arm must be straightened.

so how involved was the mono wiper convo?

time, special tools, I keep checking back on this thread and keeping wanting to do this more and more.

I bought the setup but if I would have known that I could build it so easily I may have tried. Here is a link to the setup as I bought it I dont know how they put it together. Let me just say that installing it was a huge PITA. If I would have known what a job it was I may not have done it. It was one of those things that you get started and you look at what you had to do to get the old unit out and all you can think is , shit no I have to put it back together.
