Changing Non-synchronized wipers to synchronized on '89 GV?

Has anyone changed non-synchronized wipers to synchronized?
When mine go out of sync they sure look goofy, along with the fact that the speed starts changing.
There are two separate wiper motors and there is no mechanical connection.

Nothing to add,  But I'll be watching because we have the same issues. There must be someone who has done this.

I had vacuum driven wiper unsynced wiper motors on my 1947 Willys CJ2.  What a brute.  Step on the gas and the wipers would just stop, foot off the pedal and they went 90 mph but not in the same direction.  The '47 and my '73 Jeep CJ5 were the only vehicles I ever owned that I sold for more than I paid for them.

The worst problem I had with my electrics that are not sync'd was trying to get them to dock at the same time.  I finally got disgusted and installed a cut-out switch on the passenger side so that I could dock that one and then dock the other using the normal switch.  Being out of sync is annoying, but I don't know of a way to get them together.  There is probably a way to do it, I just never took the effort to get it done.  Have a great day  ----  Fritz

I do not remember either the 95 or 89 having un synchronized wipers.

 Ours may have started life synchronized. We are the 4th owner and one wiper motor has been replaced that I know of.

Funny thing is, even the vacuum operated wipers on my 1940 Studebaker Champion and my 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline were synchronized.
I think the reason the '89 GV has separate motors was the V-shaped fiberglass nose created a bit of a problem when it came to space inside the small access doors.
