What is the advantage of converting your wipers from the 2 wiper arms to 1 arm like on the benz?
is it just cosmetic or do you gain something?
doubt the gain.. but i dont think it looks too nice either.. thats why i just wanna know what the deal is behind that...

d00d, there is no conversion to make it more affective with a uniwiper. it's all cosmetic. on the benz, i guess it must have to do with the shape of the windshield and how the wiper is set up. most people who convert just tear one wiper off. that definitely has no gain. and if u were to try to convert it properly (if that's even possible), it'd cost u an arm, leg and first born child.

in response to your ?
there is no benifit, but if you are interested the "conversion" is quite simple: take off you driver side wiper arm, discard...loosen and reposition passenger side arm...presto uni blade! too easy...or ricey
peace

You guys really should check out www.beaterz.com, they tear apart a lot of too ricey cars. I.E. Mugen & Vtec stickers and badging on Toyotas, 8 ft high supra wings on geo metros... etc. That site houses some FUGLY rides.

actually, youre partially correct. the one wiper conversion only makes hp in conjunction with a large windshield banner. btw, great visibility.
