how does that work then?
Did You Know??
I just noticed the neat tricks built into the MINI wipers - (maybe you all knew this but it took me 2 months to spot it!)
The front intermittent delay is automatically adjusted according to vehicle speed - quite neat
The rear wiper delay is also automatically adjusted according to the front wiper setting - way cool!
So - little things like this amuse me

Being a MINI nerd, I noticed that one...
Why do folk drive along with their back wiper going. Most well designed car don't throw muck etc onto the back windscreen when they are driving along. So i can only assume its a ploy by BMW to wear out your wiper quicker so that you'll have to either fork out on wiper blades regularly or get a new back windscreen when it gets scratched!
Cool, my mums CLIO has got it & I thought it was a neat touch
Sometimes in this country we get a thing called RAIN which can make it impossible to see out of the rear window, hence driving with the rear wiper onBrianMini said:Why do folk drive along with their back wiper going.

When driving in the Indian sub-continent at night I noticed many drivers turned there lights off at night for similar reasons to yours for not using rear wiperBrianMini said:Why do folk drive along with their back wiper going.
