Wiper Wonder Kit · Universal
Wipers that work. Kits that fit.
One of the first universal electric wiper kits ever built, and still the one that fits where others can’t. A single flex shaft replaces the rods and pivots of a mechanical linkage or vacuum system, so the motor goes wherever your build has room and the kit adapts to the cowl you have rather than the one a factory built.

How it's built
Why a cable drive suits a custom cowl
Less room than a linkage
A flex shaft replaces all of it with a single cable. It routes around whatever is in the way and takes up a fraction of the space, so the motor mounts where the build allows rather than where a linkage dictates. If the run is longer than standard, the 144" XLWD cable covers it.
Set it up the way the car needs
The shafts take arms that fit ½" or ⅝" fine spline knurls, which covers most of what builders are already running. Arms and blades aren't included, so you pick the finish and length that suit the car.

Not sure it'll work on your cowl?
Most installs come down to where the motor can live and how far the cable has to run. Send these and we'll tell you straight — including when the answer is no.
Electric wiper conversions for street rods and customs
Wipers are the detail that gets left until last on a build, and then becomes the reason a finished car never gets driven in anything but sunshine. Vacuum systems were marginal when they were new and are worse now — they slow under load exactly when visibility matters. On a pre-war body there may be no provision for wipers at all.
The Wiper Wonder Kit was one of the first universal electric wiper kits on the market, and took Best New Product of the Year at the 1991 NSRA Street Rod Nationals. Its flex-shaft cable drive is what makes it universal: a single cable replaces the rods and pivots of a mechanical linkage system, saving considerable space behind the dash. The motor mounts where the build has room, the cable routes around whatever is in the way, and the two shafts work with whatever arm orientation your windshield ended up with.
