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.

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.

good idea. is there anything else to know?

i will test this since i have a spare wiper assembly sittin right here. and i wanna weld something.

[damiendawson]

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.

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

Yes directed @ Linus .
Check out the post times of our 2 posts , looks like you just barely edged me out . :D

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.

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 .

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.

Directed at me - look at my sig pic.

looks great with your peeling paint on the hood ;)

[Jparkr]

not diggin it, but cool if you do. why do you want a single? cosmedic? cheaper to buy one blade??? because it deffinitly isnt as functional as two ya know

[ColdAccord]

^ Look at your sig sucka .


I definitely dig the look but I've passed on the homebrew kits for many years .

Finally scored a brand new legit Bonrath for myself . :twisted:
Thanks Nico . :up:

I wont bother installing it until a few months though when the paint is finished .

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

[damiendawson]

I love the mono wiper look. I had the kit from Bonrath on a 96 VW Gti I had, and loved it.

I've been looking for an e30 setup for a few weeks...but I'm looking for one that sets the arm somewhere other then dead centre of the windshield.

props though.

I wanted to do this on my e46 for the longest time, but never got round to it. Sick man, i like it.
