two wipers for the standard look its simple.
Shoe laces out each window to the wiper, pull one to go up, one to go down.
It works, i had to do it when my linkage broke (no gay single wiper tho.)

I think single wipers look daft anyway because all of the aftermarket/retrofitted ones I've seen don't park properly.

Mine sits at a weird angle accross the passenger side, looks ghey. Would look ghey even if it sat central, I just think they look cack.

yea i had a gay home made thing on it that never sat central of my screen on one off my novas it was soon remooved though!!!!
Ill have to say that I do like them but depends on the look of the car, any thing slightly motorsport influenced then yeah but sleeper then no, I've always had them until I got my recent nova which is still sporting two wipers but only because I have bought new blades for it. Imo only looks good also if the second wiper hole is done away properly rather than putting a grommet in it

Twin std wipers FTW.
I hate single wipers, utterly pointless mod, up there with fake tailpipes & Lexus lights IMO.

I remember and old WRC clip where this was used when the linkage broke.
Not a fan of the single wipers either....

I look like the look of an off to the side single wiper but they are not that clever. Like blondes really.
Single wipers rock! (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v485/DPursey/Videos/?action=view¤t=singlewiper.flv)

Completely unrelated comment, but that image is watermarked steve kilvington...
How very wierd as one of my best mates is called steve kilvington but i doubt it was he who took that though lol
glad ive read this i was looking into buying a storm one,so the bottom line is their sh#t ??
Someone on here once wrote, how can removing two wipers and swapping for a solitary one ever be as good or work aswell as two do?
It does seem a bit silly as they dont clear as much surface area on the screen as two do but i personally think they look pretty cool parked off to one side but tried one which jammed up on me the next day so sacked it off and went back to two and not had them jam up lol

Thats the best working single wiper i've seen, never seen one wipe the whole screen. Where/whos that from/by?

Fiat Uno (I think) with the wiper arm modifyed so that it's the perfect length. I can't remember if I used a Nova size wiper blade or I got a bigger one to get the maximum wipe.
It does wipe the maximum ammount of screen possible with a single wiper.
