Re: what everyone use for singal wipers?? (87veedub)
Scirocco wipers bolt right up.
I've got several if you are interested.

I'll do up a proto tomorrow and snap some pics, same length or longer or shorter? I've also been tweaking a wiper arm to sit on the left side like a right hand drive wiper arm. All you would need to do is flip the Scirocco linkage. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Yeah, from me

Re: what everyone use for singal wipers?? (schleppy)
Just find one from a 1st gen scirocco, it bolts right up. I've got one in my corrado, its pretty cool. I wouldn't do it in the rabbit unless I did some bodywork to cover up the old holes though....

quote:[HR][/HR]Driftin FTI Couldn't you just use a Mk2 arm? i guess the blade would be slightly offset, but at least it would be straight. To make it park in the center all you need to do is loosen the linkage bolt that attaches to the arm (from the motor) and move the arm to the position you desire. PRO TIP : Make sure the arm was in the "rest" position before you do this.[HR][/HR]
The drive hub for the wiper arms are smaller on the A1 cars vs. the A2 cars.
Re: single wiper mystery (130_R)
Well, my origional plan was to turn on the wipers and see if I could get them running, and then figure out how to extend the linkage to get a full sweep.
Then I was going to gut the whole thing out, fill the two previous holes and drill a new one dead center.
The only thing is that I don't think the wiper motors currently in the car work

Should I just go junkyarding for a motor? Or are new ones not too expensive?
TIA

Conrad, see if this is what you had in mind. I personally don't like how those big plastic ones look, and I think this would look very nice. Let me know what you think.
PS: I made that wiper in ten minutes

It is a modified A2 wiper arm I had lying around, so it won't fit on the Scirocco hub. I'll pick up a mono Scirocco arm tomorrow and modify it to look just like that one, won't take me that long (to make it look half way decent). It still has the off-set and everything for the wiper blade mounting. I'll also pick up some factory matte black touch up paint so it looks correct. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif1 - 12 of 12 Posts
