Cool Sorry, I only have one dwg Evo...

...the wiper drive mechanism which has pivot points at the end of the arm has a specially designed set of unequal arms that change the wiper position as it swings (repositions as it pivots). See the unequal curved arms (top item 4) in the dwg.

You wanta' see this on an XJ-6, one blade does both the drivers and passengers outer corners - looks weird as it undulates!

Default Eccentric Wiper

HI

Im desperate. Can someone out there please answer my question:

How do Eccentric Windscreen Wipers Work? They are the ones which reach further into the corner of the screen, normally on the passenger side. Its only on the drivers side if the manufacturer is cost cutting for LHD to RHD (or vicer versa) conversions. You can find them on the following cars:

BMW 5-Series (RHD Models)
BMW 7-Series
Mercedes Benz C-Class
Mercedes Benz E-Class
Mercedes Benz S-Class
Mercedes Benz CLK-Class
Mercedes Benz CL-Class
Mercedes Benz SL-Class
Lexus RX300
Peugeot 206 (australian model)

If you are going to answer my question, could you please provide some pics or animations, Thank You
