Wipers

I had my wipers on this morning and when I accelerated they would go faster. I never noticed it before. Kinda neat though.

2ndly. The rear wiper sucks. It's noisy even when its pouring down rain. Anyone else have this problem.

I also think its noisy, but then again this is my first vehicle with a rear wiper so I have nothing to compare it to. I have to repace the blade because the one that came from the factory leaves a horible wide streak right in the center of the window.

I do not think the rear wiper does an a good job in the back. I wish it covered more of the rear. Plus I never heard any noise. I guess becasue I always have my radio on when I drive and I have the premium sound.

I noticed this yesterday in the rain. If your wipers are on in the delay they will switch to full on when you speed up and back to delay when you slow down.

Another hidden feature!!

My front wipers work fine, and I never hear the rear one, although it really doesn't cover much ground, so to speak.

Actually speed sensitive wipers are becoming a standard on most vehicles.

I wouldn't mind removing the rear wiper and having an autobody shop filling in that area...

I never noticed my wiper changing to full on when set to int. I guess I will have to check it out next time it rains.

you have to use the highest setting of the int for the speed sensitive setting
