I can't believe I have just spent 7 minutes watching wiper action and enjoying it! Though the wipers that are out of sync with each other do cause a mild irritation!
I've had a mild obsession with windshield wipers since I was a kid... Yeah, I'm weird! :3 To some, this is less exciting than watching paint dry, but I loved it! Fascinating to see many designs we don't get in the US! I stumbled here trying to find videos of wiper arm alignment. So glad I did! Love the pantographs!
I never thought there would be a bunch of people loving wipers as I do. I am 16 years old and do always simulate active wipers with my arms. The mechanism of these wipers (especially the new types of wipers) is amazing! And you can test it by yourself with your arms on a table with things or so!
Fantastic video! I think people don't understand how important Windscreen wipers, washers are to everyday driving! The coolest ones were the headlamp wipers and washers on the SAAB, unbelievable!
Those Saab headlight wipers are proper showstoppers. I love Ian's commitment to wipers, in putting together such a montage and sticking such a jaunty soundtrack over the top. Sunday just had its ante upped
Right up there still has to be the Nissan Bluebird Second is that Renault alpine then The cleverness of a Mercedes Wiper that appears to Jump Twice in action then those Saab Headlight Wipers are on another level yet so simple. Oh! Why dont they make cars as intresting as this in 2021 is beyond me. Superb Collection 👍
My Faves are Asymmetrical moving ones like the 70's and 80s MB S Classes and 70's and 80's Saab 900's and recently I've discovered the Peugeot 604 and Saab Sonnet have unique ones also. Cheers to Eccentricity!🙄
I just spent seven minutes watching windscreen wipers, more than 95% of which I had already seen. I feel this shouldn't have entertained me as much as it did!
Watched out of curiosity, kept watching because I really enjoyed the music, then smiled while thinking that this could only happen on Hubnut! It's why we keep coming back, content you won't get anywhere else.
My whole outlook on wipers has changed completely since I discovered you Ian.' Dribblement of Despair' anywhere on the wiped area is my main gripe though tbh.
A few more unique wipers to feature in "Wipers: the Movie", Part 2... The Seat Altea/Toledo had the most amazing wipers which both parked vertically in the A pillars. British Leyland did unusually well in the wiper stakes with the Princess and Montego (parked below bonnet line!) and the Triumph Stag had a unique pantograph wiper on the driver's side. The Peugeot 604 and the contemporary Mercedes S class had two wipers which parked parallel in one corner and then wiped an arc, with one wiper travelling twice as far as the other. Older London taxis had odd offset wipers, one parked horizontally and the other vertically, so that one swept up while the other swept down. I remember seeing some headlamp wiper-washer units that operated in turn, so that one headlight was always on maximum brightness. The Pulitzer/Nobel/Bafta award for wiper ludicrousness has to be shared between the Alpine 310 and the Panhard 24.Thanks to @Chris Harkin!) The wipers on both cars park on the outer lower edges of the screen and swing upwards toward each other, but while on the Alpine they sort of smack together in a "get over to your side!" motion, on the Panhard the wipers swing up and down and never quite meet in weird, asymmetric arcs which some drivers might find to be dangerously hypnotic.
I really liked that Nissan Bluebird rear-wiper, it's nice to look at in action. I miss my previous car, a 2001 Volvo V70, because it had headlight-wipers, those were very helpful when driving in saltspray.
Why didn't you do this before? Now I want more wipery! Peak wipage was the SAAB headlight smudger. Perfection. Idea: what about an indicator video. I do like a good indicator. Front or rear, I don't really mind. Just make each one long enough to give the feel of the cadence involved. Hubnut gets my vote for internet winner today (again...)
Australian car test magazines (Motor Manual, Modern Motor or Wheels, don't remember which) once included wiper clearance photos in their technical summary - it seems they coated the screen with some white substance, ran the wipers and photographed the result. This was many decades ago when washers were fairly uncommon and some wipers were straight blade. It would be interesting to compare efficacy of washer pattern, for which I nominate recent Kias - superb fan spray.
I never used to pay much attention to the humble wiper before discovering your channel. Now I find myself looking at wiper patterns, searching for the triangle of doom and corners of disappointment.
I remember as a child being blown away by the mercedes single front wiper in my dads c230. (1997) fascinated by how it achieved the motion it did. (I was maybe 5 at the time)
Superb content Mr Seabrook. This little vid is a nice addition to my Boring Car Trivia volume 1 & 2 which my wife bought me for Xmas. Who'd have thought there was so many wiper addicts.
Pantograph and cam action was too much and caused me to have to rush out and squirt my windscreen for my own fun time. Great video, can't wait for pt 2.
Did I just watch almost 7 minutes of wiper action? Superb! The slow motion sequences were mesmerising (or were some wipers just real-time slow?). Wiping away 2020 for a clear view of 2021.
Every car has their different unique wipers, also including different wiper movements, some are very interesting, some are very weird and funny. I do like to look at them to see how they look 😅
Problem is I now find myself looking at every cars wipe pattern, I never used to have this problem, thanks Ian
It happens to us all, sadly lol!
i'm glad it's not just me
@@leeallen7491 does the amb do that
🎉🎉
My wife has just declared me nuts for watching a video about windscreen wipers!
Good man, but remember, you are NOT alone.
Don't worry, you are not nuts
The authorities will have you in a list for this type of content.
They sure will, Hub nut aka the pantograph pervert!
He's now not allowed with 100 yards of Halfords wiper blade department 😀
Some of this should be wiped before screening
I can't believe I have just spent 7 minutes watching wiper action and enjoying it!
Though the wipers that are out of sync with each other do cause a mild irritation!
I found those interesting. What car was it?
@@revolution1one the split screen VW ones were very slightly out; and the totally bonkers A310 ones seem to each do their own thing.
That was very hypnotic, my wife had to throw screen wash in my face to break the trance.
This was bound to happen sooner or later. We should have screen it coming.
Just when I thought I was the only one obsessed with windshield wipers Hubnut came to the rescue. Cheers
Your not alone
Me too! I have found my people!! 😄
The Pantograph wiper on the rear of the Bluebird is so satisfying to watch.
Agreed
Oh yeaaaahhhh!!!!!
Your telling me Right? I know someone that owns one with that very rear wiper. Could watch that all day 😮
And also a local ex dealer to me in colliers wood!
What was the green Australian car....exposed linkage indeed.....that was a thing of beauty
Why would anyone watch a video titled windscreen wipers and then give it a thumbs down? What did these people expect 🤔 I thought it was very hub nut 👍
It's no wonder Elly's wipers are worn out! 😀
Elly needs a manual wiper option like the Tasmanian 2CV.
If you think Mr. Hubnut is a little weird for making this video, keep in mind you watched a video on windshield wipers wiping!
Yeh, busted lol!
Dammit
And we all watched to the end, guessing what the vehicle is
I’ve had a fascination by different wiper patterns since I was a small child in the 1960s! I always look forward to the triangle of doom test.
It's always something I've noticed too. I always notice when a car has wipers going when it isn't raining.
Me too. My sisters used to laugh at me when I made wipers at the dinner table with two knives...
@@chrisharkin3741 I used to do that too!!
@@chrisharkin3741 yeah but dont play with them that much.

Single arm Mercedes windshield wiper is legend
That was rather satisfying to watch.
Nowhere else on the interwebs can such greatness can be witnessed.
I liked the part where there were wipers.
I also liked it when the wipers where in time with the music.
Me too!

Lol same as well, i'm 12 and do the same thing like you do :)
Wow same I love wipers from 3years old to 13 years old now 😊
Just when you thought there was no way the internet could get any weirder.
Because HubNut 👌
There’s people who review Toilets
Well that makes up for the lack of wiper action on Ellie.
Love the cavalier headlamp wipers. But you need to get some Peugeot 405/6 wipers with the wash bar on the wiper arm. I think the BX used them too
My favourite wipers ever are on a 993 series Porsche 911 - used to love the look and watching them in my Dad’s when I was a kid!
Highlight for me the Saab headlight wipers!
Yeah, they looked pretty weird and must have been fairly reliable to still be operating all these years later.
Hmmm... Really crap or really cool ?
It's a tough one.
Definitely quirky and leftfield, because Saab...
No, got ot be the Hovercraft at the end. I mean Triple Blades ... heaven!
LOL, is it just me or did anyone else find this video therapeutic, Great fun video yet again well done !
Very hypnotic, one, two, three - your back in the room!
Only one missing on my "wish list" is the Porsche 928 rear wiper.😉
Headlight wipers, very underrated and deserve a category all of their own.
Fantastic video!
I think people don't understand how important Windscreen wipers, washers are to everyday driving!

Makes you realise how much the simple concept of wipers has improved over the years
I've just sat watching this & found it oddly satisfying I think. I'm. Going nuts
You are on the naughty list for missing out the quirky Allegro wipers.
...so we the unwashed expect this on part 2 :)
'Now that's what I call wiper action 2021'.........best HubNut compilation ever!

All the wiper goodness
With the odd triangle of doom and a few areas of disappointment

Nice to see you making a clean sweep for the new year.........I'll get my coat. 🙂👍
Watched out of curiosity, kept watching because I really enjoyed the music, then smiled while thinking that this could only happen on Hubnut! It's why we keep coming back, content you won't get anywhere else.
The inevitable video we all knew would be made one day.👍
My favorit: that red Alpine GT v6
the video i never knew i needed. So cool to see all the different ways and mechanism they use
My whole outlook on wipers has changed completely since I discovered you Ian.' Dribblement of Despair' anywhere on the wiped area is my main gripe though tbh.
"...and climbing the charts, this week at Number 3, it's "Wiper Madness" by The HubNuts!"
Always been a bit bewildered by your fascination with wipers, but I found that strangely satisfying. Thx.
I had a lovely wiper moment a couple of days ago - fresh powder snow and the pantograph wiper on my Audi A2. So satisfying!
3:20 was rather satisfying, and I love the Saab headlamp wipers. The boat at the end was classy.
Mmm, wiper action. My favourite is the A310 - those are bonkers and I could watch them all day. Thanks Ian - old man now happy.
3:40 our Morris Minor does exactly the same.
Cleavage of doom!

Glad you mentioned the Panhards. !
Have now driven a Panhard, so can add that to a future compilation. ua-cam.com/video/DoHttV6prgk/v-deo.html
Proof that to HubNut, the wiper action is the most important part of any vehicle.
I really liked that Nissan Bluebird rear-wiper, it's nice to look at in action.
I miss my previous car, a 2001 Volvo V70, because it had headlight-wipers, those were very helpful when driving in saltspray.
wow just wow, the action the suspense its all to much in one go. definitely a video to save for future generations 😊👍
Well that wiped a smile on my face!
Best - Alpine wipers. I also really like the clap hand wipers on 1970s Merc saloons.
Now that took some serious editing. Definitely worth the results though. 👍
Cheers. It's taken all day!
@@HubNut Worth it though Ian. The Triple Blades on the Hovercraft was absolute heaven. :)
Ian has started a worldwide phenomenon of people being interested in windscreen wipers.......
Only on HubNut 👍
Why didn't you do this before? Now I want more wipery!
Peak wipage was the SAAB headlight smudger. Perfection.
Idea: what about an indicator video. I do like a good indicator. Front or rear, I don't really mind. Just make each one long enough to give the feel of the cadence involved.
Hubnut gets my vote for internet winner today (again...)
Loved the light wipers like a borrower was cleaning the lights from behind the grill I can understand your obsession now Ian Rob
The most Hubnut of Hubnut videos.

YES SINCE IM A LITTLE KID IM WATCHING THE TRAFFIC NEWS WATCH EVERYTIME ITS RAINING JUST TO VIBE WITH THE WIPERS
The 190 wins for me the only way have no triangle of doom what so ever.
That's my bedtime entertainment sorted 😀
The Carver's wiper is in the class of its own.
I somehow missed that show.
Hubnut king of windscreen wipers, 😁👍
The French have the craziest wipers. Panhard, Alpine Renault but also the Mk1 Twingo.
You forgot the odometer driven wipers from the 2CV.
@@robkleinlangevelsloo259 but they have a regular pattern.
I must hastily add Simca Aronde to French wiper quirkiness.
@@volvo480 You're right. But using the odometer for drive is pure genious. Isn't it?
@@robkleinlangevelsloo259 yes it is! It was a great cost-cutter for the cheap vehicle the 2CV was intended to be.
subtitled - OTHER peoples WORKING wipers
Well that's the quickest I've ever got through one of your videos - about 8 seconds on fast forward.
Aw look I wasn’t even paying attention to the video, I was reading thru and laughing at the comments!
By far the best thing that happened to me today :))))
I've actually sat and watched this, and the worst thing is that I quite enjoyed it. 😂
This is... THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WATING FOR!
No words needed just the wiper majesty, a seminal work
I once had a Mercedes 190. Best wiper ever. Very smooth very quiet and looked cool. Did its job well. Ahh happy times.
I started my day with wipers a la Hubnut. Awesome
Good to see some w124 mono wiper action👍 something this channel needs more of.
Pretty much covers every type. Now you just need the drop down type from a Commer van, and the one up, one down type from an old London black cab.
Just like a Simca Aronde
Did we see a Panhard? They have very strange wipers.
@@cornishhh The Alpine in the video uses the same pattern.
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the wider wiper fest. Take care.
I remember as a child being blown away by the mercedes single front wiper in my dads c230. (1997) fascinated by how it achieved the motion it did. (I was maybe 5 at the time)
Swish! You are spoiling us Mr Hubnut, we're dribbling!
I've always been fascinated with wipers; particularly vacuum wipers. Yeah, call me odd...
Thanks for posting this vid.
Superb content Mr Seabrook. This little vid is a nice addition to my Boring Car Trivia volume 1 & 2 which my wife bought me for Xmas. Who'd have thought there was so many wiper addicts.
Yes, I've still got the secon volume to read...
Only on Hubnut.......
Poetry in motion! About the best wiper action you could possibly hope to see.
Ah the good old days when we were allowed to play with windscreen wipers and play 80s electro music
SO very Hubnut and entertaining.
Ian, perhaps you should take Ellie to Ypres in Belgium 😂
Just watched all the way through, how do you do it ? I’d of never watched a vid on wipers before, I’ve been hubnuted
Quality wiper mash up! 😂👍
Pantograph and cam action was too much and caused me to have to rush out and squirt my windscreen for my own fun time.
Great video, can't wait for pt 2.
Peak Hubnut, at the start of the year! I missed the rotary headlamp wipers, as well as the BMW twin wipers. Maybe the sequel?
Two you must have in the next edition, BMW i3, a shockingly awful TOS and a Porsche 928 rear pantographic splendour.
I may have just had a mini crisis with the Saab headlight wipers. Genius design.
I knew i saw a video like this coming!
Lol, I know I'm a sicko but that was fun. I particularly liked the single one at about 6.50. Very entertaining Mr Hubnut
Did I just watch almost 7 minutes of wiper action? Superb! The slow motion sequences were mesmerising (or were some wipers just real-time slow?). Wiping away 2020 for a clear view of 2021.
A true art form
Did I miss the TWC windshield wiper? The most important!
Hey, it's always good to hold something back for Part 2. Didn't feature the Lexus LS400 either.
Almost like a commercial from the eighties, Love the Saab 99.
I love coming back to this!
A clean sweep including pantograph action, I like it!!!.
Every car has their different unique wipers, also including different wiper movements, some are very interesting, some are very weird and funny. I do like to look at them to see how they look 😅
