A lot? No. Psychotic lot of work is more like it. Start with a $1400 windshield and it just gets worse from there.

Here's what you need to know about how to work the rain-sensing function:

I'll add that, regardless of the speed setting, the actual frequency has nothing to do with how hard it's raining. Downpours sometimes result in little action, while mists can result in a speed as fast as the low-speed manual setting. Although I think the machinery is possessed, I wish I didn't possess this "luxury feature."
