Has anyone tried or mounted a Manuel wiper on a glass tip out Polaris windshield?

I've sold a few to people that have had their glass drilled. I don't recommend it as it obviously weakens it. Have you already tried RainX?

 

[SlimRockett]

Well the factory tip out glass has a place for the electric wiper set up so a hole is there just wondering if it would work ok.

I'm thinking about ordering one for my 570 Crew. I have a hard coated windshield and this video claims it works on them.

I just sent a question about the size from the pivot point to the tip of the blade so I can determine if it can be adapted to my 900 tip out glass windshield.
I can shorten the arm by cutting it and tig welding it back together pretty easy and I can make bushings on my lathe fairly easily to adapt it to the hole that is there. This might be the thing I have been waiting for.

When that wiper is mounted in the lower position, it has a cradle or detent for the wiper to sit in.

What are you going to do when you mount it in the upper location for a parked position?

 

[SlimRockett]

I have called them and they don't have a clue even what a factory Polaris window looks like or ever tried to fit a wiper to one, I told the guy they would sell a bunch of them he said they only try and sell what fits there stuff. And yes when you mount on top it will rest in the middle of window unless you make a holder when not in use at the top.

But your holder will have to be on the inside. And it looks like "your handle stop" providing you use the supplied handle, looks like that will inhibit your space for your hand to control the wiper.

 

[SlimRockett]

Yes on the inside I'm thinking a holder can be done to hold handle up and if you are using it just leave down.

This is the measurements in the Manuel wiper.

Well I ordered a Manuel wiper pictures to come.

Great cant wait!

Got my wiper in today!

All I did was from inside with razor blade slice off the big grommet on the right of the rubber plug drilled out the hole same size as the grommet mounted it pretty easy and the wiper arm is really spring loaded so it stays at the top out of sight position,It is made for a flat glass and the Ranger glass is curved so I'm going to update it and put a 1" longer blade and one for curved glass I think it will work ok for what I need it for. $31.00.

 

[Mtjag]

how did you only pay $31 for it. It is listed for $59.95 on EMP website...have they reduced the price?

 

[SlimRockett]

I got it from Amazon look up Manuel wiper I got the Sea Dog brand.

Did u have to drill hole larger that went threw windshield? Just needed to know if I didn't like it if I could go back to factory. And would you do this again? Sorry just really interested

 

[SlimRockett]

I sliced that little piece off to make a flat surface I left the rubber piece in windshield drilled threw rubber a 7/16 hole,the windshield hole is 1/2", The wiper blade itself is for a flat surface it will need a 2"longer blade that bends.

 

[Beachem72]

Thanks for all the help just ordered one.

 

[SlimRockett]

It is what it is for $32 bucks but caught out in rain it will work good!

 

[Berniep]

Awesome thanks!
