E24 Mono Wiper Conversion - Help Needed
Would Greatly Appreciate Any Help In Modifying My Dual Wiper System on My ‘83 6 Series To a Single(Mono) Wiper System. I Need Help In How To Modify The Existing Wiper Assembly To Convert It To A Single Wiper Assembly. If Anyone Has Done This Mono Wiper Conversation To Their E24 Or Have Any Links Or Posts Regarding This I would Be Very Grateful If You Could Post This Information or PM Me With This Information. Thank You In Advance! Jim C.

LOL! Thank you, Captain Obvious.
I encouraged Jim to come here from Bimmerfest, since our E24 forum there is about dead, so please help.

No offense intended. I was merely answering in the style of ‘Horsetan’ (don’t you miss his posts?!)
Seriously though, is it really worth doing? You’d have to weld up and refinish the bodywork to hide the redundant opening. Then you’d have to
find a motor and assembly to give a longer travel for the single arm of some 180 degrees of arc to clear the ‘screen. There’s a reason manufacturers build cars with two wipers. It works! Early E-type Jags had triple wipers, but that idea got dropped.
IMO you could spend your $$$$$ on more worthwhile improvements.
Just my 2c
