i dont know about you guys, but i did the one windsheild wiper thing to my car and i think it looks pretty nice. it makes my lxi look like one of the can-am race cars, and it only took about 5 min. to do

Glad you like that, if you like it, keep it! I had that about 5 years ago on my car.

Just make sure you use a longer wiper like 21" i think. So you can get the most of the area with one wiper.

How does one do that? Do you make one cover the whole windsheild? or is the passenger just s.o.l.?

:rolleyes: :stick: just take off the passenger side wiper, remove the driver side and angle it up more like in the picture above. It'll pretty much cover the whole window. Get a bigger blade to help cover more area.

on my car, i basically took off the driver side wiper by loosening the top nut, and then popping it off, then i loosened the passenger side wiper and angling it upward. i suppose taking off the passenger side wiper would work too

This may sound dumb but I have never heard about that. That shows how much I actually go outside...

Nope, if you look at the pic i posted above, that's how it sits when the wipers are off.

Yeah, as NX and lightblu said, just remove the driver side one all together, and loosten up the pass. side and angle it to basically where I have mine. I'm still using the 19" blade, and as has been mentioned, you can move up to a 21 or even higher, just be sure to drop the angle so the wiper end doesnt hit the side of the windshield.

I thought that too back when I did it over 5 yrs ago. But it's still on there to-date. You really don't even notice it at all. The passenger however, now you'll hear all sorts of piss's an' moan's coming from them on a rainy day.

i like it, although i've never tried it (thought there was more work to it than described) but in the dead of winter that would not work well for me.
