That's only the wiper in your picture? I guess that the protrusions on the top most be part of the pantagraph. You might go to a non-articulated/straight arm. At least it'd reduce the arm height.
The SeaDog is a straight arm and the window goes right up there. Of course it's manual but the outside ought to be similar.

I can swing my center wiper left or right 90 degrees separating it from the window. This allows me to push the window all the way open; the same was true on the 22.

Jay, was that a manual powered or electric wiper? There are times I would like to have a wiper on that center window, but not a manual powered one. I'm a believer in Rain-X, liberally applied, and it has worked for years, but over time the investment in a wiper might pay off.

Harvey,
It's manual, also a heavy user of Rain-X.
I find myself more an more using the window washing formula with Rain-X added.
If it starts to fail in a squall I can just reach out and give the windows a little misting.
The automotive vareant is also great.
As for the center manual wiper, when conditions warent it's nice to have the added convenience of reaching over for a quick swipe.
A powered wiper would definitely interfere with fully opening the center window, at least from my perspective.
Ment 45 degrees not 90 on my previous post. |

Ken, I'm looking at the windshield wipers in one of your pictures. I've never seen one that looked like that. What model and part number is it?

I will get back to you. I'd love to keep it but I'm taking it off if I can't figure out a way to keep it AND open the window all the way.
