Simple, Just Break one of your wipers off and attach it to the other one with some duck tape

im pretty sure all you do is remove the passenger wiper altogether. the driver side wiper you take off and put back on at a different angle.

disclaimer: i have never done this, nor do i approve of anyone ever doing this, but its not my place to limit what someone wants done to their car
(to everyone else: think of it like a child, they have to make their own mistakes or they'll never learn lol).

What is more important to you? Being laughed at, or having good visibility in bad weather?

no, it's a 0.2% weight reduction, which would net you a 0.00005 second increase in the 1/4 mile LOL

Man you're so hard core, you could use your hard core ways and just break off one of the wipers like hard core style y0.

Or how about you tie a rope from the back of one of those mad tyte freestyle quads to one of your wipers, get goin like 30-40mph and that wiper will come right off!

For rizeal dawg

Those mercedes came with 1 wiper though, FD came with 2. You should just take em both off. I believe no one cares about quads or a 69 custom, since this is a RX7club yes? Just calm down no need to be so sensitive about it!

DUDE!! don't do it man don't do it.....I did this very mod to my higly modified vehicle and found out VERY quickly that it is HIGHLY illegal! Soon after completing the single wiper conversion (there's a kit you have to buy) I was pulled over, and removed from my car at gun point and arrested. I received a two week jail sentence for modification without authorization....man that judge was PISSED.

Don't do it, end of story. I learned the extremely hardcore way.

Well, I can tell you visibility sucks ***. You also end up with a wiper half way on the windshield.


I can also tell you that periods help when reading.
