Windshield Wiper ELIMINATION options...
Posting this in Superformance section but could be applicable to other models.
Does anyone make a machined cap that would snugly fit over the protruding studs (after you remove the wipers)? My car never sees water, and even on the rare dewey mornings that I do get some moisture, the Rain-X on the glass sheets it off. I'd just as well remove the wipers all together, as they flop around at speed.
I checked Finishline. Any other sources other than custom one-offs? Street rod supply houses?
Thanks,
-Dean #747
P.S. FYI, no annual vehicle inspections in CA.  |

Any of the local hot-rod shops should have them.

Dean, I just went to Home Depot and purchased black rubber caps for my car. the rubber/plastic caps are the ones you use for steel table legs. I think they were 1/2"

Just curious: Aren't you required by law to have operational wipers on your car?

Alot of states don't have that requirement. I titled and licensed my kit while it was still in a thousand pieces. No inspection required. |

Just don't mouth off to the cop...
Hopefully he or she will be a fellow gearhead.  |

Blas, I carry mine in the trunk, I guess if I need them I can pop them back on. they fit so loose that I leave them off. they also don't have that much pressure on the blade. rain-x works for me

RainX works pretty good, but I've found that driving in the SF Bay Area and around the Monterey Bay, you need good WW blades.
