Speed Sensitive Wipers

Has anyone noticed how slow these are even at high speeds? Weird part is that I went to get my front tire feathering serviced and now the speed sensitive wipers have a delay that is too short and they move too quickly. Is there an easy way to adjust these???

We DON'T have speed sensative wipers. The guy just didn't know how to adjust the sensativity of them manually. I do wish we had at least one or two more intermittent wiper speeds.

Same here ;-) Took my manual to a nice restaurant and had a nice steak dinner.. just the two of us.. I feel bad making the Z wait outside in the cold, but she didn't complain ;-)

Unless it's raining very very hard I just do it manually when needed.

From page 2-19 of the owners manual:

q1 Intermittent – intermittent operation can be
adjusted by turning the **** toward qA
(Slower) or qB (Faster). Also, the intermittent
operation speed varies in accordance with
the vehicle speed. (For example, when the
vehicle speed is high, the intermittent operation
speed will be faster.)
q2 Low – continuous low speed operation
q3 High – continuous high speed operation
