At one point in time I had a wiper assembly mounted on my buggy. Last year I made body panels including a hood. I still have my tabs for the wiper unit under there. Just looking for ideas on how to get a wiper back in there. My center console would block the original location.
Sometimes having a windshield is a real PITA, like at night with lights on and Michigan mud smearing everywhere.

Any ideas?
What have you done?
Above the windshield?
This was just before I got a windshield.

I have used this company in the past, and had very good luck with them. They can supply about any type of system you would need.

Thanks. Maybe I will find something on their site that sparks my imagination.

This buggy is so jam-packed with stuff I'm running out of room to put things.
I may need to figure out a way to build my own linkages to have it sit behind the upper tube and bend around and down the windshield.
Gears, pulleys, and levers oh my!

Maybe just a pivot point in a corner with a handle and no motor
