Sharkey Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Anyone installed a kit or worked out a single wiper parked vertically like the racing versions of the 850? Always liked this look.http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/1637654.jpg...930FDCFC4C15FBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazarvospeed Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 For here in the states , thats too funny if it didnt tuck away when not in use. But the video shows like its just a modification to the wiper gear / motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxx Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 there is a how to on i believe V70R.com(?) or a british volvo site... what is it, ukt5.com or something?For here in the states , thats too funny. It wouldnt even tuck away when not in use.....so forget it or do it right.wrong. modification makes the assembly simlilar to the wagon's rear wiper. it will do the full 180 degrees.

Dan A Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Doesn't work as well in heavy rain, simply because a single wiper doesn't wipe fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwein Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Doesn't work as well in heavy rain, simply because a single wiper doesn't wipe fast enough.seams like a silly modification to me, why would you want the wiper performance to decrease?

T5power Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 i have always loved the benz's with the single blade wipers... but on the volvo is there another wiper arm to replace it with so it doesn't have the angle on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in the day when my buddy modded their civics to have a single wiper all they did was extend a mounting point of the bar where the arm mounts.
