slipknot95758 · 04-12-2007, 01:09 AM

mods if these arnt alowed go ahead and delet didnt see anything saying no ebay links.

complet kit needed lots of welding probly to mount the motor

also remeber that the wiper is useless on a lhd car. if it swept the other direction i would get it in a heart beat

You'd have to drill through your glass to install it.

LOL. you cant just drill through glass. You actually need the rear window from a jdm prelude. The rear glass is safty glass so if you do anything to it it will just shatter.

no it can be done

diamond tipped wet hole saws

Bingo. You could also get the glass from an EDM Prelude. Why it is we didn't get one? I can't tell you how many times I've needed one.

Good luck with that. Try it out and let us know how it goes.

There is probably a way to make the motor turn the other way and find another wiper to compensate.

if thats the case why dont we just use on froma crx i have measured it would fit very nicely

i would love to have one cause water just sits on that window. however recoating it with rainx every year has done the trick for me.

its also kinda funny hows in japan people dont whant it so they remove it cause they think it looks bad. but here we think how nice it would be

I think you have something going with the CRX wiper. Anyone have the tools to get through the glass?

Hhhmmm...I doubt it would be as simple as just switching the polarity of the motor, but then again....seeing how to motor is stationary, I don't see why it wouldn't work. If I can get my hands on one, I can give you a definite answer.

Its cause we look at the practicality of it rather then looks.

Why is it useless on a LHD car? Am i missing something?

slipknot95758 · 04-12-2007, 06:16 PM

it sweeps the right side not the left so you wouldnt be clearing off the window behind the driver

Bertico78 · 04-12-2007, 06:45 PM

not if you install it in the same location as the JDM ludes....on right side of the windshield and sweeps towards the left...which is also the only way it can be done given that the entire rear window is needed for the install.
I live in Grand Cayman and RHD ludes with rear wipers are a dime a dozen...they're everywhere. I intend to swap rear windshields with one some day.

mgcshroomz · 04-12-2007, 06:47 PM

i look straight out my rear window through my mirror... the mirror has a pretty wide view

all of the ludes that I've seen w/ rear wipers have them on the right side like this...

thus, its sweeping motion clears the window on the right side more than the left, thus most efficient for a RHD vehicle...Im sure it will still help us LHD cars, but it was definitely not designed that way...

EDM LHD Prelude... same position as RHD/JDM/UKDM

rich045 · 04-13-2007, 10:47 AM

it dont matter, we can make something custom and unique, US LHD windshield, lol
