    Single wiper conversion

    I know I'll get flamed for this, but out of curiosity, how exactly is this done?

      Where could I acquire one? Is it a custom piece?

      I only ask because I have to pull everything out of my car that's wiper related, essentially, to get to the motor and linkage I have to replace, so I figured if I was gonna do something now's the time to think about it.

        It involves longer arms that come off the wiper motor and to the linkage to the arm, I dont know how much different in leghth they are but would sure like to fab one up as well, I think there stylin,

                the korman kit was an original bmw motorsport kit. please have tape handy once you pick your mouth back up off the floor. the price is just stupid.

                      they have had that for a while.

                      i think that is the bonrath kit. if it is then it has a new drain cover for the drivers side so it doesnt have the wiper arm poping thru it anymore.

                              Perhaps you could retrofit a mono wiper from a Mercedes, I know some of the 124 body e420 mercedes had the mono wiper. Maybe you get it relatively cheap, and custom mount it with the appropriate size wiper.
