My current single wiper broke today when it was most needed :mad: , plastic knuckle on end of linkage arm snapped off!

Whats the best single wiper kit (long lasting / trouble free) you can buy for a nova?

Links would help, thanks.

I def dont rate storm, had one and it was def set up properly it did some v.nasty damage to my bonnet and she had just had a fresh re-spary!!! I went to vauxhall and had it put back to standard cost a small fortune!, dont get me wrong I love the look of the single wiper just v.disapointed with storm.

unless you use it has a track car put two back one. Or for some reason you still want one get a ax wiper motor. the nova motor will fit in place of it in the ax motor then you havent got to mess around with wiring

Thanks for all your comments, ive ordered a storm single wiper now and fingers crossed it will be ok, if this goes tits up then I think ill resort back to two. I'm going to be un welding the 2nd wiper hole and pluging it so its ready to use if needed. Beofore my current one died it did make a valient attempt at wiping the bonnet lol :tard:

Watch this space.

I'd argue that they are in some respects more efficient than 2 ;)
