Hmmm I do not think I could ever remove my wipers. I am not concerned about rain at all I can see rain coming. I am worried about those things you do NOT see coming. Splats and splashes where its get it off the window now or your crash :-) IE not worth it. I will aero the wiper first. I DO plan to remove the passenger wiper from Vger but I have huge 28" wipers and they "cross" each other. IE my drivers wiper almost reaches the other side of the windshield (I mean it too misses by some 10 inches maybe?)

Now what would be interesting is altering the REST position of the wiper! if I put the passenger wiper on the drivers side I could have the wiper VERTICAL against the edge of the windshield and have it move down the windshield and then back up IE where straight UP the glass is now the rest position. My wipers mount on the outer edge and swing IN so the wiper mount itself is almost completely to the sides of the vehicles. Use the passenger arm as well and I could even leave BOTH wipers intact and be able to easy aero them completely! MAN thats a good idea I am going to look into this tommorrow!!

Here is a really Q&D photoshop of what I mean Obviously this only works on cars like mine where the wiper mount is so far to the outside IE it would not be in my way looking out the windshield.
