Default Central Windshield Wiper

I could not find any information regarding a modification I'd like to do. I want to change my wipers to a single M-B type blade, in the spirit of the concept car. Is there any way to do this? Thank you for any advice!

I'm thinking that visibility would not be to great unless you sat on the console.

I think the one he is describing is an articulated arm wiper that mostly covers the entire windshield, at least it does on my step-son's Bimmer .....

I was a bit tongue in cheek with that comment, buses use them as well.

Exactly, that's what I'm doing. It's the only mod I want, so I'm willing to shell out for it, hell @onehundred80, I'll sit in the damn passenger seat if I've got to! lo I really want this badly! And I've even got a twist for it, just in case someone beats me to the punch!

I have had Mono wipers on my 87 Subaru XT Turbo, and two Jaguars.. I loved them. I have such an issue with the left wiper on my Crossfire dragging water back across my windshield. If someone can figure out how to convert ours Please let me know.
