Make Your Own Wiper Gloves
Discussion
Its raining and you want to wipe your visor.
A interesting cheap idea to help you clear the rain is to add part of an old windscreen wiper to some gloves.
What you will need:
Gloves
Windscreen wiper(old ones possible from places like Halfords)
ruler
scissors
superglue/Velcro & sewing kit
Step one:
Figure out where the best place to attach a small strip of the windscreen wiper to your gloves. A good place is either along the index finger or along the thumb. Try a mock clean of your visor and see where you feel would be the best place.
Step two:
Depending on your attaching method strip a piece of the windscreen wiper and measure to length and either attach to location via superglue or Velcro allowing future replacements.
Step three:
Check that there is no sharp edges and if not test.
There are better solutions out there but for a quick fix or even a long term solution this will work.

I bought one of these Fleegle just laughed at me
By the time I got to work it wasnt on my finger
The Verdict : Just use your glove
....... i turn my head left and right if it gets too much and let the wind push it off.
otherwise just use the palm of my gloves.
and if (think you put about needle and thread) i were to try and sew something on my gloves it would be very hard being kevlar lined, and the fact they cost 160 quid.
i dont tend to ruin things that cost that much.
