Autotuning is a science in itself. In almost all areas you can still improve and beautify your car and adapt it to your personal needs. In addition to the very obvious improvements, such as increasing engine power, painting and tuning large components such as rims, spoilers and others, the real art of tuning is in the details. A perfectly modified car is reflected in the details. Therefore, you should also consider changing your windshield wiper system.
Windshield wiper systems can be modified in many different ways. The wiper arm and the wiper blade holder can, for example, be replaced by a component painted in the vehicle color. Also so-called Stickerbombing can often be seen on wiper arms. In addition to the color design, you can also make technical changes, such as adjusting the speed or the rest positions, as well as converting a system with two wipers to a so-called single-arm wiper (sports wiper).
Advantages of a Einarmscheibenwischers
One advantage of autotuning with a one-arm wiper is the cool look. The single-arm wiper can even be purchased from various suppliers directly with the factory car paintwork or is color designed later. In this way, either contrasts or matches can be created and clever accents can be set. Here you can let your creativity run free. Another advantage in terms of optics is the geometry. A one-arm wiper creates a symmetrical image of the car.
Da normalerweis to The car has a central axis of symmetry, which is interrupted by the left or right-hand position of the windscreen wiper (if visible). The centering of a Einarmwischers the symmetry but can be restored when the rest point center established. The Einarmwischer also has less mechanical components, in contrast to the two-arm wiper. Thus, the operating costs are even reduced, since only one wiper blade must be replaced when worn and not two. Furthermore, the space required when installing a Einarmwischers almost always less than the two-arm wiper, which has to accommodate more mechanics.
Disadvantages of car tuning with Einarmscheibenwischer
Is the vehicle not standard (Mercedes 190E, Renault Twingo, Jaguar XJ 6 etc.) equipped with it, but the retrofit solution can also More Gobble up space than the factory variant. A disadvantage of the two-arm wiper is the lower wiper performance or the smaller wiping area. This can have a disadvantageous effect in larger vehicles with a correspondingly large windscreen. Certainly not a problem with a Twingo, but an old Jaguar XJ is "under wipes"As we find.
What to look for when Einarmscheibenwischer?
Well-known manufacturers such as Bonrath, JOM or FK sometimes still produce single-arm wipers. Some manufacturers have already stopped production due to a lack of demand. There are a few things to consider when installing. As soon as the factory wiper is replaced by another one, you have to make sure that it is absolutely compatible with the vehicle model. It should not be too big and of course not too small. In addition to compatibility, it is also important to ensure that the drive and the mechanics attached to it do not have to be adapted in addition to the wiper arm itself.
With this system, it is often necessary to use more force to move one “big” wiper. In addition to the technical feasibility, it should also be checked whether the new single-arm wiper is legally approved at all, i.e. one General operating permit (ABE) owns. If this is not the case, high penalties, up to and including loss of insurance cover, can result. If in doubt, ask a TÜV office. It should also be noted that a permanent center position of the windshield wiper is not permitted on public roads, as visibility is restricted.
better ask a testing organization beforehand
We hope that you will find the info report on the term Single Arm from the field of autotuning. Our goal is to be the largest German-language tuning dictionary (Tuning Wikipedia) and to explain tuning terms from A to Z easily and understandably. Almost every day we expand this lexicon and how far we are, you can HERE see. Soon the next tuning scene term will be examined in more detail by us. By the way, you will be informed about new topics if you have ours Feed subscribe to.
Below are a few examples from our tuning lexicon:
