    Re: single wiper fitment

    Stick a picture of the kit up, and i'll let you know where each part goes.
    They are a pain in the arse to fit, and to be honest with you they are pretty weak, funnily my one snapped today! (Was already on the car when i bought it)
    But if you want to go ahead, i'll try and see if i can help.

    Re: single wiper fitment

    mine was a massive ball ache.....

    i've been meaning to get pics up for various people for a long time.. but havin comp probs at the mo so even more delay.

    basically, the linkage is the only bit worth using, the arm is too long for a start. to get it in the middle, you have to drill the rivets from the pass side wiper linkage spindle carrier, then cut the tube of the linkage brace down, then bolt the spindle carrier back in, that'll support the spindle. my single wiper linkage spindle was too small, so i had to make a plastic bush out of an icecream box lid.... then had to make another brace to support the motor bracket.

    i used a citroen xsara picasso rear wiper arm and blade..

    hope this is of some help... and the best pic i have available is below:

    Re: single wiper fitment

    Isnt the front windscreen a bit big for just one wiper? Wouldnt it make driving it in the rain more dangerous?
