Turbone Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Only on the XT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatedownpdx Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 could you put it on a gl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm pretty sure the XT glass is "Taller" so the wiper would probably be too long. Perhaps something from a Mercedes - the older Merc's have a similar roofline to the EA82's..... just a guess tho. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 but why? Didn't you know, it saves like 3 oz and makes the car faster in the turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Oh snap! Best go slap some stika's on my ride to make up for havin 2 wipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 remove the one on the passengers side and you have a one wiper EA82!! the blade is easily adjustable with a little playing around you can get a different blade, any length you want installed on the arm of an XT wiper motor. you'd probably have to swap over an XT cowel, that doesn't sound very fun. the transmissions on them are very hard to find by the way. if you find a good one and regrease it though it should be fine for the life of the vehicle. sounds like a lot of work for a strange feature! not sure about the controls...i guess it shouldn't be too hard to install the right wiring/plugs. might be a simple splice and go.

daeron Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 now, ive never seen the mechanical linkage between the two wipers on the GL, and ive never seen the wiper setup on the XT(6) since my dads got repo'd back in 93.... BUT, I would imagine that if both motors are the same, you could possibly take the linkage or the motor/linkage assembly out of the XT, and remove the DRIVERs side wiper from your loyale.. and find a wiper arm/blade combination to make the passenger side wiper wipe the whole windshield. As GD said though, its a matter of the roofline.. but my brother did something similar on his CRX by simply replacing the passenger arm with a different one, loosening the bolt on it, and rotating it to where it covered the appropriate area in its travel..

jeffast Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i've never seen the one on a gl but i guarentee that the xt wiper woul;d be way more work than it would be worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 a ghetto job could be done by simply adjusting the travel of the passengers side wiper.. but it would look funny and probably work poorly. to get the stock travel of the motor/linkage assembly to cover the whole windshield you would need an arm with a funny bend to it, and the right sized blade. Its not as simple to visualize as it might seem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 that sounds easier and more effective but i can say from having one wiper it sucks in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 oh yah.. _I_ wouldnt do it, im just enjoying the thought exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 that sounds easier and more effective but i can say from having one wiper it sucks in the rain Agreed. And the XT's wiper moves so slowly, even on the highest speed. Though, its certainly fun to listen to the passengars say "Woah, that's cool!" whenever its raining.
