windshild wipers

[stiguy]

anyone notice that when you are driving and you put your wipers on the setting.... INT.... and then the rotory knob to fast... that they go with out stopping but once you go under 20mph they slow down automaticaly??
i thought that was pretty kewl

[legacyau]

yep clever isn't it

[IceBlade]

Yeah.

Unrelated: In my opinion there needs to be a setting in between the fastest and second fastest wiping. I constantly either get the annoying squeaking of dry windshield, or the blur of dirt and spray.

What I don't like about the system is there is a "fast" then a "slow" nothing in between.. Even when I move the setting to be between, it's still at "slow" the only way to get it faster is all the way to the top..

Think your switch must be broken.

Do you see a notable difference when you switch between them then?

If you play with it enough, you can notice a difference.

Yes. More of a difference at lower speeds. Try setting it while not moving, you should see a diff. As you speed up the delay becomes less.

if not, maybe your resistance pot is broken... although i have yet to hear of that being a problem..... now I am wondering where it is... lol

I think that is because the voltage output from the alternator is a bit higher when you "speed up"

Actually, no one can prove me wrong on this point!

Speaking of windshield wipers... I got some new Bosch wipers the other day and they are by far the best wipers I have gotten in my life!

I suppose it is ok to put this in a windshield wiper thread

lol good one a 2 fer 1

I can count on one hand the number of times I've used my wipers this winter. And have yet to use the washer. I don't think I've even had to fill the washer fluid reservoir since I bought the car...

This is one thing I COULDNT stand. I missed my fofo for this reason. If I put it on int, I want in ON int, not continuous.

we do need good windshield wipers here almost everyday... Ever day that we get the car out, that is
