Could be an issue having a single blade as the Barchetta windscreen is so concave you might have problems keeping the windscreen rubber on the glass all the way across. Would be good to have a go and find out.

I think it makes the car look a little too small. However, if there's some technical benefit, go ahead!

No, no, no! I have never understood this. What is the point of reducing the wiped part of your windscreen and making your car look odd?

left or right pic?

HUmm seing the photos I think not.

I like the left pic more but it looks lost on the front.

Thanks thou

i was thinking of installing coupe like blades on the B in order to diminish the amount of spray one gets with the top down..

Yeah you got me thinking now.

the sprays are actually situated on the blades, so they spray as the blades do their thing right on the window instead of doing it form afar and hence minimizing the spray..

yes, this would be a good mod, as i find i have to spray loads to get the window clean and if my windows are down get most of it running back into the B and down the door panel and into the tweeter housing, anyone else share this experience. any mod that would minimise this would be a great.

You should make 2 holes for the water tubes close to the wipers arms,the jets are very far from the wipers to use their tubes.



A little off topic,if you use the water jets does the wipers start automatic or not?Mine dont start.

 

[paganeli panda]

mine dont start either...

You will have to remove the rubes from under the already existing sprays and then run them up the wiper arm...

Kiry I have the same prob, the only thing i can think off is to raise the windows prior to spraying...

I can relate! It is quite annoying getting a shower with the window open.

Do all small roadsters suffer with this, bmw, masda, mg etc. Might have investigate and see if they have overcome this, maybe some sort of runner on the rubbers to catch excess water.

A lot of cars do this not just small roadsters. It's down to the way the front windscreen joins to the side. My Brovs VW has a track running from top of the windscreen to the bottom thus diverting water down before hitting the side windows. The rubbers I think would be better on the b.

Ones where the windows fit inside rather than on the side at the top.

Rubber on the windscreen with a side gully to take the water down...

Some one design them!!!!

:worship:
