intermittent rear wipe?

One of the few incredibly annoying things about my 4th gen Prelude is that the rear wiper doesn't have an intermittent function! Even the Rover-Hondas of the same period (like my '95 216 Coupe) have this - when you switch on the rear wiper it wipes normally for 4 cycles then goes into a 4 second delay phase, which is much better for British weather conditions.

I'm just wondering if there are any intermittent wipe modules available to give this function? Has anyone done such a mod on their car?

cheers,

David

Remove rear wiper, apply rain repellant.

Job done

This^ But then get stuck with a rear wiper jet and fluid tube and rear wiper stalk dial.

Insignificant details!

Although unplug the connector for the rear washer pump, otherwise you can still squirt washer fluid!

or redirect the jet to spray pedestrians

^^ or tailgaters

On a more relevant note, can't you just nab a relay from a car which has this feature? Sounds like a good excuse to go to a scrap yard at the least

I'm sure I remember someone going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this in a thread somewhere.

Nah I'm supreme and just nudge the wiper stick down when I want to see, unless it's pissing it down I don't bother switching it.

Who looks out the back of a 4th gen anyway, all you can see is a blur of losers left in your wake
