What’s the over-under on this wiper being sufficient for initial Michigan inspection prior to installing the real system this winter?

Depends solely on the LEO who does your inspection. In four I've had a couple do a cursory look over the car, and two others that barely looked. Just asked me if everything was there. I've never had an inspection where anything (lights, horns, wipers, whatever) was required to be operated during the inspection. So I would say your chances are pretty good. Now washers, which I don't see present, are a different story. I've had to do some fast talking on that one. Finally installed them on my Coupe. Only to have them not inspected or even noticed. He just checked the box.

Yeah I noticed that washer requirement. I think for now I’m just going to take my chances and see what happens. Time to strap the pipes on and schedule the inspection!
