        if your car looked as good as the M3 in my avatar you could get away with a mono wiper...seriously what is cool about a wiper going up the middle of your hood. wipers look best when they are tucked under the cowl ala old 60's camaro's and new Lexus.

          It's not, that's why i'm wanting to undo it. :P I like it and don't at the same time, kept me busy though, no real point in it, the wiper moves slightly faster, that's about all.

          I'd like a full sweeping one tucked in the cowl though, that'd be nice.

              Can't you just set the wiper wherever you want it to stop at? If that's the case then just set it in the stock position and then you can have the mono+tucked wiper.

                thank you! You are not an idiot! This is exactly what I did. Mine is parked on the passenger side, and as low as possible. Looks clean. Not like a stupid ricer fag asshole that has it verticle on the window...

                  I have to have it vertical until i get around to modding the arm or it won't sweep my side.

                      change the park.

                      Even with a slightly bent arm (uh, the stock one) a full sweep linkage will still sweep the driver side.

                          I didn't mean the wiper arm, i ment the linkage arm.

                                I'm confused...i haven't modded the linkage that needs used for the full sweep, i realized how much of a PITA it would be after bending my wiper arm and just parked it ricer style and sweep from there.

                                I need to get around to it soon.
