I have the original FFR two wiper system. It does involve cutting the back of the hood, but the end product looks and functions well.IMG_0551.jpgI just added a few more notes to my post. I actually reduced the sweep from 110deg to 100deg so I can fit a longer wiper on it. The wiper is parked higher than I had hoped for, but that was the best all around setup I found. I have an arm with an adjustable tip so I can rotate the wiper more horizontal, but then the far end of the wiper doesn't contact the windshield. I could then bend the arm down more so the wiper makes better contact, but then it interferes with the hood. I left it for now so I can pass inspection. It was hard enough and time consuming to get to this point. It's satisfactory, but I'm sure I could get the arm slightly lower with some fine adjustments. I think my hardtop is set further forward than preferred making the gap for the wiper smaller.
I've only seen the Subaru 2 wiper system work after cutting out a big (10"?) chunk at the back of the hood. I showed how to convert it to a 1 wiper system but that was still really challenging to fit in the car and get the angles right. It wasn't going to happen with the bulky Subaru wiper arm for me.
