I see it hard to come by cars that have a swc now a days. Just wandered what my fellow corsa owners thoughts are on them? If anyone has a picture of a corsa with a swc could they please share it?

I saved one in my eBay last night oddly thinking the same never see it done any more. I'm tempted by one for weight saving purposes and so it's more of a race car look.

its probably not so popular anymore because many modern cars don't have a wiper in the middle. even the corsa is slightly off centre

I had one on my white corsa, practically it was shite, they don't clear enough of the screen on the drivers side.
Changed it for a normal setup with a Tigra Scuttle in the end. I think I still have it somewhere with a smoothed fibreglass scuttle as well.

got one on mine
modified the linkage mounts so it sits in the centre and not slightly to the drivers side, works perfect

i still think its a cool mod if done correctly - very oldskool but you have to have the proper wiper, not normal one converted IMO

I didn't find mine to practical - it didn't clear water from the screen as well as having two wipers and distracted me a bit. Perhaps you could get a longer blade than then one Storm sold with their kits and it would work better?
