    Ok, Mercedes mono wiper is pure-functional because they expand at the top corners of the windshield and contract near the top to cover as much area as possible. Very cool, but only if it expands and contracts. Anywho, I say passenger side so its basically out of view while driving.

      You assume too much, and such are wrong. I would never post on Roachfly.

        I was wondering when someone was gonna say that, MB is a 4 link system, not a simple pivot and it's a lot more sophisticated than the usualy mono wiper.

          Passenger side, fuck the passenger.

          Real mono wipers are the shizz. I will have one eventually and it will rest on the passenger side. I want one of the hinged systems that alternates the arm angle to get more area.

          The big reason I want one is at high speed the driver side wiper doesnt have enough force on it on the very bottom to get the lower left hand corner of my window. Although I can see the road fine that little bit of shit smeared on my window eternally pisses me off.
          Im now E30less.

            I bought some from bav auto with some little spoiler on it. Yea its pretty stupid and ricy but it was the same price and you dont notice the spoiler thing. Seems to keep them planted at high speeds though.

            Does anyone have an animaton or movie of the MB pivot system? If your interested I could make a gif of mine. :)

            I bombed Korea every night.

              mono-wiper on a street car is about as useful as a dog terd for an antenna. Just cause its expensive doesn't mean its not ricey as fucking glow nozzles.

                My goal in life is to make the MB C class mono wiper to fit my e30. It is not normal like most all mono wipers. It actually moves the whole wiper blade up when it goes into the corners, then back down in the middle, then up in the other corner, then down again for the side. And it covers almost 180'. My bro just got a MB c280, and i'm in love with the wiper.

                  Some of my freinds feel teh same way about mono wipers on an e30. They scream rice, etc. If i had the money i'd do it JUST to piss them off :)

                    Monowipers are like headlight wipers to me.

                    Neat, but funny looking.

                    Maybe practical... maybe not.

                    Too expensive either way.

                    Sold it.

                              explaining stretched tires is like explaining drilling a hole in one's skull, its just an all around bad idea.
