ive seen guides on the net for a diy single wiper conversion, is this anygood and how hard a job is it. would it just be better to get the proper kit which costs about ?90?
cheers for your help
I've heard bad things about CIY conversions like the sweep not being good enough, or the arm knocking on the bulkhead. I bought a proper Storm kit from a styling place near me and i've had no problems. It cost around ?80 was easy to fit and looks really good :)

With it tapping on the bulkhead, u just gota bend the rod a little!

mines the same spot on although id wudnt mind a full plastic cover for me wiper arm as mine went a bit rusty
mine works just as well as a pro one. no knocking and the sweep is just right. you just have to play with it a little.
I had a single wiper using a Fiat Uno motor,
only worked on a single speed (prob my wiring)
it had good range.
Will be trying the DIY conversion very soon,
will post here results here.
Try the DIY first, tweak it, if you're still not happy,
then bin it & buy the proper kit, I'm told the kit replaces
the complete linkage.

same here epo. I think I've found a wiper that might fit and has a cover. I'll do some research and let you know how i get on.

Or the best- Pug 306 rear arm (Late one is smooth)
I hear PVD sell the covers, pm MattyWoo for more info.
