Single front wiper crx?

Do you think the gains of a single front wiper on a crx are worth much, if anything at all?
Obviously one wiper will be half the drag of both - but do they actually make much drag at all ?

(At higher speed my wipers start to get pushed up the screen - almost as far as half way lol . It seems a common problem, a few people from crx uk raise the bonnet, making the air flow over the wiper. Some other members move their wipers as far down as possible... so they are sitting on the black plastic trim.
The other members just buy new wiper arms lol )

However it does say there must be some wind resistance acting on the blade/ arm - put it this way even pushing the wipers up with your arm is almost impossible.

But that would be a different topic ( infact i might make one about the bonnet raising mod )



So back to the single wiper :

Im not talking about removing one wiper and using the other , i mean a proper conversion that gives full sweep from one wiper....

Could run it to the side
similar to this crx



Or even more sleek ( but blocking a little vision ) straight up :
Sorry for poor pic
