dual arm wipers

This picture above is taken from my site. These are the measurements I used on the yellow 6.0. Only the one arm is doing the driving. Here are some more details for a successful wiper movement.


I used threaded rod for a section of the drive rod so I can adjust the sweep of the pivot lever accurately.


I cut the lever at the pivot and added adjustment via a 1/2" bolt and nuts. This way the wiper sweep distance can be shortened or lengthened.


Parked position


Top Position


1/4" ball joint for the secondary pivot. (adjustable too)


How to correctly position the secondary pivot point.

Have you guys ever considered the wiper arm from a 2012 Toyota Yaris? Thats what I will be using in my build.

That's perfect!  Thanks so much for posting that

Good find, here's a better shot. It's pretty darn close. One would just need the wiper transmission/motor, wiper arm, wiring skills, & they're all set.

i am not sure , i would guess as long as you  found  a wiper that would  clear hood   or right  curvature  you could use any wiper arm.   someone on other  site   showed using  a wiper arm off of   a Masserati Quadraporte,  good luck  not sure if that car is in states or not,

Are most gm wipers the same as the 6000?
I don't know if I've ever seen one :S
Thanks

yes ,  the motor controls  1 pivot point   the   2nd arm connects   near the  wiper linkage,  It has been awhile  but  one of the forums  had a post  with measurements of where the 2nd arm mounts ,  maybe  Murci Me will know and post measurements of where the 2nd mounts

Does the motor still only control the one pivot point?

I saw ralley posted this on his youtube channel and thought they looked pretty good and I don't see too many people doing this but I've been interested in having oem style wipers but there's no info out there on them. I wonder if anyone knows a good wiper to start with on fabricating custom ones. I've never seen these in person to know how they're designed and what rules they require in order for them to work if we were to make our own. Maybe they're as simple as they look I don't know lol
