useless windshield wiper

i noticed that the passenger windshield wiper is very small and looks almost useless. i got to thinking that you can get rid of that wiper arm and get a larger wiper for the main wiper and only have one big windshield wiper. i think that would make it look slick. now i just gotta find out if they make a wiper big enough. what do you guys think eh??

If you made the main wiper longer, it would sweep over past the top of the windshield at full extension, not very slick.

not really, cuz if you look the windshield is very large and and the main wiper right now can barely even reach the top portion of the windshield

crusitude is right. you cant do without the gimp blade unless you dont want to wipe that part of the windshield.

and there prolly wouldn't be enough pressure on the far side along with more strain on the wiper motor :/
