Default rain sensing wipers..

dont have them on the car...did anyone ever think about putting it on??

found this option..looks like you can hide it and make it seem really oem...

only thing is im not really good with electrical diagrams...so i'd have to bite the dust and pay someone to do it...

To tell u the truth I don't like the feature. No matter the sensitivity setting the system can't sense misty rain.

i know it's not hard to turn on your wipers..its just that the showers here are irritating...one minute they rain hard...the next minute they stop...then they get light..then they get hard.......then stop completely..ahh!!

Really? I've always thought the IS rain sensing wipers worked pretty good. The GS, on the other hand, are worthless.
