Please.... you have got to be kidding. That ranks up there with "what type of wing should I put on my max" or "should I consider colored neon lights for under my car".

OK OK I get the point fellas, just a thought. I would bet any of you someone in here had to do it though already but after those comments whoever won't dare say a word now! Thanks for the input guys I'll save myself some embarrassment, and I would never get neon or a big gaudy wing either. I dislike Civics and Integra's also, but I really really hate Mustangs!!!!!!!!!

Its not a bad question, but lots of work if you want to do it correctly. My dads benz has one wiper that wipes faster than my maxima.

If you mean the ricer form, then forget it.. when i was17 i did this, and i look like a tard trying to see through only the CENTER of the glass

It might be rice, but hey Benz CLK has 1 wiper. I don't think CLK is rice . Also, i don't know how it's designed but it clears up the whole windshield with that 1 wiper.

Yeah, and the wiper so powerful everytime it wipes, the car moves from left to right.

it's an easy mod to do but your wipers are not going to move 180 degrees like that CLK.

And I believe those things are automatic too... the frequency of the wiper adjusts according to the amount of rain/moisture... I never bothered to find out how they worked, but I'm sure one of you know...

mmm...not sure how well it would work on our cars; if our cars had a longer windshield it would be possible...

you'd probably only be able to wipe away half the rain away from you viewing position...

i've seen it done.... buddy of mine took the larger wiper/assembly off and put it into the slot for the smaller wiper. it wipes most of the windshield, but the wiper sits in the middle of his windshield when it's off. not something i would ever do, but to each their own.

Is there enough room for a slightly longer driver's side blade? If so, would reach a bit further...

Funny how there have been numerous negativity about your bright idea yet you single me out. Maybe because you're a turd who tries to scare people by threatening them online? http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=402864 I've been here for 5 years and as you can see from my post count, I'm not a post *****. I normally just try to help people out. Now you've given me a reason to return on a daily basis.

Btw, you asked for opinions.....I gave you mine =)
