there is a way you can do it with full sweep like benz does and you dont need a special kit...i just have to modify the pivot point on the motor arm...the wiper sits pretty flush with the bottom of the windshield and wipes all the way accross to the other bottom...the only drawback is that u get a big unwiped section above the driverside corner of the windshield..if you're shorter than its not much of a big deal but taller drivers might not like it

there is a how to on honda.perf.org or somethin like that...mono-wiper mod

if done right its not rice!

He didn't ask for anyones opinion, he asked if anyone knows how to do it. Keep your opinions to yourself unless asked for them.

shouldn't he be warned if a mod he may be considering is unsafe or illegal?

Saying it may be unsafe of illegal is different form calling it rice.
I personnaly don't care if it is a joke or not, I am sick of seeing "rice" posted everywhere.

hahaha...you only have 1 wiper motor in the first place! please dont tell me you thought there was 1 per wiper arm...its not rice if done properly...and if its rice then is Mbenz rice with their mono wiper?

the only concerns I have with it are:
wiper speed; under heavy rain and snow the wiper will not be able to keep up with the water on the windshield creating an unsafe driving environment for you and other drivers

Un Touched Glass; parts of the window that are usually touched by a normal wiper configuration will no longer be touched and we all know what salt spray does to a window...it makes it opaque and dangerous to drive with

Oversized wipers; in order to get the best coverage of the wiper you are gonna need to up the size of the wiper blade and when it sweeps to the driver side of the car it loses contact with the window and flops over the side...after extended use like this the wiper blade will tear and become uselss

just some things to confifure before attempting this modification...and it is a modifcation not a quick remove one arm and adjust the other

Mono Wiper Tech

Here bud, this is the info you wanted...good luck with the install
