Quick history.....I have been trying for sometime to get my hands on a AC Schnitzer DTM wipe kit for the S5. I lot a couple auction on eBay Germany. So in light of this I decided to make my own. After some trial and error it is finally done.
I'll be honest with you the install is a bitch. If you have ever had to remove the blower then you know what I am talking about. Installing the actual part takes about 10 mins but the rest took me about 2 1/2 hr and this is my second time doing it. Word to the wise. If you plan on doing this then take my advise do not try and run the wiper linkage outside to test the throw. I almost lost my left middle finger in the wiper motor when the linkage started slide off the side. Over all I think that it was worth it. The blade actually moves quicker. It covers the entire window. Check the pics and video's :redspot :buttrock

If you are interested in doing this conversion I am willing to get a list together and do a group thing. The more the cheaper. But as it stands right now the part will cost $80.00 Let me know. PM me :alright
