One wiper mod

Hey always wondered how this is even done, what kind of modifaction takes place. Is it easy to bring it back to stock

And what are your opinions on this, some will call it ricer but i think it looks pretty hot and not that many cars have this

remove driver side wiper,

loosen passenger side one at the pivot, move it so its halfway up your windshield, tighten it down

and now you have the newest look

I had to shorten the length of the lever arm that attaches to the wiper. You will find that the wiper arm attaches to the knob sticking through the windshield cowling is bolted there. Take it out and you will see that there is a lever arm. I shortened it by around 1cm (I can't remember the exact measure). You will need to do this to have the wiper cover the whole windshield.

You will also have to reposition the wiper motor arm (the little one attached to the motor) so that you can have the wiper in the center of the windscreen.

Or leave it and have the wiper sit at the passenger side but still wipe the whole window.

This is how Mercedes do it, but they have a cam follower system so that it gets up into the corners.

It is a touring car look, or dtm, but the style has gone like pastels and neon. (You know, like the colors of your clothes , j/k)

Unless if you are going to get a legitimate kit which would wipe almost 180 degrees, (like on the mercedes) why would you want to do this mod? Doing this mod by doing that loosen the wiper trick is stupid, I think. You lose the area that the wiper is going to wipe.

It was a mod that everyone used to do in the late 80's early 90's...and there's a reason why not many cars do this now...it's just ghey.
