Windshield wiper parked on passenger side
Has anyone here ever done this? I tore my windshield wiper system apart last night to correct where the blade parked. It sat several inches high. That was an easy fix. After looking at it all I think I can convert things around to where the blade rests on the passenger side rather than the drivers side.
I'll let you all know how it turns out.
I'd like to get it off my side of the car. It is ugly, and is right in the way of the beautiful hoodline and of course, the star.

Really? you hate the wiper that much? I was wondering if we can convert the wiper into DTM style and let it sit at 12 o'clock

Does anyone remember Mercedes' add campaign from about ten years ago about how they have their wipers rest on the driver side for safety reasons?
They believed that if you needed to put your wipers on in a hurry then they would clear the drivers view faster than a conventional system.
Of course now, the majority of their new cars no longer have wipers resting on the driver side; go figure.

It is easy, just change the Relay in relay box that controls the wiper motor
You can get the wiper motor relay change to right hand drive car and you are done. It is simple DIY. 
If you got EPC or WIS, you can find out the part number. Or one of our Brits buddy can give me VIN number from their car and I can run the EPC for relay part number.
