    Single Wiperblade Conversion?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm new to the German car scene but figured i'd ask since i've always been curious.... has anyone ever done a single front wiperblade conversion on there A4 or is it just too stupid? Always thought the one wiper blade gave it a cool look.

    I've always liked the look, but it would be a bitch to do. Not really the most educated guess on my part, but not worth it on by opinion. Especially as a preliminary mod

    Welcome. Personally not a fan of the single wiper blade. And to my knowledge I nerver saw anyone on the zine with it. GL

    It would be cool, but I've never seen a single wiper conversion that didn't stay out of sight. They're always half-way up the friggin windshield. Pass.

    Thats because people take off one wiper and just move the other. I did it to my 93 Passat, I removed the linkage and modified the length ot the pivot arm on the motor. It laid flat and wiped the whole windsheild. Lots of trial and error.

    yeah but that's because the seat was in the middle. single blade wiper would seem like too much trouble for not that cool a mod imo.
