What height is yours?
Does anyone know what's the maximum height a screen can be before wipers are legally required?

I don't think the height of the windscreen matters - it's more if you can see over it from the drivers seat.  If you are looking over the screen the wipers don't matter (I think)

Ok folks, stand back....this is my department.....


OK get your tape measures, set squares and compasses at the ready (are we all familiar with Pythagorus theorem?)  ;D ;D ;D ;D





This is the info you need. Actually there are different numbers depending on the seat measurements but this is the guide as per the SVA. I would need to do a search for it but I think I did a proper post about this a few years ago. But essentially if the windscreen is below that 4 degree plane, then its not a windscreen. (Other options are safari opening/folding down screens too)
