Default '17 LX - Drip wipe?

I have noticed that after using the windshield washer I don't get the extra drip wipe from the front wipers after the main wash/wipe cycle has completed. Strangely the rear has the feature. I am coming up on the complimentary 6 month service where Lexus will adjust any settings for free that can only be adjusted by the dealer. The manual indicates this wipe feature should be turned on by default. Am I doing something wrong? What does your LX do?

Thanks!

My Land Cruiser (same wiper system as LX) does the drip wipe. If this is a dealer-adjusted setting, have the dealer turn it on.

Small sensor up by your rear view mirror it determines if there is a need for that last wipe, or any wipe, based on the moisture on your windshield.

Drip wipe or no drip wipe is part of the wiper system. I disabled the rear view mirror rain sensor by unplugging it at the mirror. Wipers now run via the steering stalk control. Last wipe is still part of the wash cycle.

Why disable the auto sensor buy unplugging it? One push up on the stalk turns it off.
