    would you have one instead of your current wipers if one was given to you for free?

    yes? no? if no why?

    Yea if its free then you can fit it and if you dont like it then just put your old ones back on.

    I have got one on a saxo and i think they look good but they are pretty crap at clearing rain tbh.

    I have a single wiper. Looks miles better than 2 big ass wipers sitting across the bottom of your screen. Don't clear as well though. Depends what you want.....

    I think they're a bit stupid to be honest, especially as most kits leave them sitting halfway across the screen. and they're probably a bit pants at cleaning the whole screen!

    I voted no.

    Just rather leave standard ones on.. Or upgrade to the Aero wipers, think it looks tidier than a single arm.

    Long as its fitted right then yeah go for it,think about it works out cheaper in the long run too(only 2 wiper blades to buy).

    So that rules out pretty much every super car available then. Stoopid manufacturers. Why don't they put 6 on for us brits???

    Neck and neck on the poll. I voted with as I have one and it does the job nicely at half the weight

    I was outside 10mins ago...

    ...I got 2 wipers, they were on full speed and could not keep up cos rain was too heavy.

    We live in a country which is not single wiper friendly.

    I just managed with one wiper all the way down the M62 in hammering rain. Just as effective as a pair of wipers.

    What you have to realise is that the front wipers are dealt with by a single motor. That motor does one revolution and with the linkages for 2 wipers ends it's revolution when the wipers are back at the parked position.

    With a single wiper you get a new linkage which still relies on the motor doing a single revolution, but the wiper has to cover a greater arc, therefore it has to move faster than your standard 2 wipers. to cover the greater distance in the same motor revolution.

    That in my opinion makes a single wiper better, as it moves quicker than your normal 2 wipers
