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.

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.
