Eccentric Wipers


Recommended Posts

HI

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

Anthony

The left side wiper on the RX300 (RHD model) has 2 pivot points, not just 1 like most wipers. So instead of tracing a circular arc when sweeping, it traces an elliptical shape, covering a larger swept area. This is probably because the height to width ratio of the RX300 windscreen is greater than normal passenger cars.
