just wondering... (split kombi q).
Can you get by without wipers when you've got safaris? How do they work together? I've got safaris but there are no wipers... this wouldn't pass
rego I doubt? :blah |

wouldnt pass rego. but i very rarely if at all use the wipers. they remain folded down all the time. do you have the safari mounts for the wipers so
they can be relocated, adn the one eye duck?

Wipers on splits are crap anyway, there is not enough pressure in the arm to actually push the blade against the window.
What I use is a product called Rainex, its available from most auto supply stores like Supercheap or most motor bike stores.
You polish the Rainex liquid into the glass and it repells the rain.
I drive my bus in all weathers including the rain and I dont have to use my wipers.
That way you cah keep your wipers in the one eyed duck.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks guys that's valuable info. And I don't have the safari mounts for the wipers. My kombi had been converted into a towable office by its
previous owner, and so they took the wipers off. :o
It's a 61 Twoguns. Your fold-away looks swell~ |
