    mono wipers..

    do the "real" kits come with a new motor or just the linkage? my wipers are FUBAR and I've always wanted a mono wiper.. maybe kill 2 birds with one stone.

    Who makes the original and where can I get one?

      mono wipers are rad but there's a reason most cars come with 2 of them.

          Eh, not entirely. My friend Evan's 190E has a monowiper stock. I wouldn't mind having one, espeically since now my car rarely sees any kind of inclement weather, and it's not like they don't function. But for the cost/pain in the ass of installing them, it's not really worth it. :D

                and hose kits are great... only problem they are no longer available :(

                I have 2 used sets left... one AC Schnitzer arm with Bonrath mechanism and a Bonrath set (arm + mechanism).

                  Hahahhahahaa Switch to a mono wiper and tell me it makes your car faster. Show me times and then I will laugh at you some more.

                  LOTS of Mercedes come with one wiper. Whats the big deal if you have one that sweeps the whole windshield?

                      i just think 2 wipers would work better in heavy rain...

                      there's no denying the gangster status of the mono

                        my mom's e320 has mono, seems like it doesn't work as well but i'll still do the conversion; it works good enough.

                              Yes the e30 mono wipers , real or fabbed correctly, do get a full sweep of the windshield .

                              Although the Benz wipers have a eccentric pivot and they actually kick up at either end for more coverage .
                              Almost move in a sort of "W" pattern .
