Need info about wiper arm delete
Hi, I recently joined this forum and read the list of 65+ efficiency Mods. I've started by removing all the excess weight inc spare wheel and carrying a can of tire weld. I purchased a set of LRR tires and I've ordered a Scan Gauge e as my Chevy Aveo has nothing.
I'm now looking at wiper arm deletion and had some questions for those who have done it. I've already started by unclipping the wiper blades and noticed a fractional MPG improvement only during highway driving, there's definitely something in this. I have observed that only the driver-side wiper arm is essential for driver visibility and I could unbolt the other one and use Rain X as mentioned in the master Mod list.
For those who have done this, does it damage the wiper mechanism having less weight? or speed it up? When you unbolted the arm, how did you cover the threaded hole to stop corrosion? Did you keep the arm and a spanner in the car just in case?
Cheers
