Anyone else feel like the fastest setting
For the wipers is a bit slow during hard rain/downpours?
Every other car I’ve owned seemed to have
Higher speed at max setting.

Get some 303 spray and do your windshield with it. Way better than RainX and lasts way longer too! Wipers? Who needs stinkin wipers!!!

Hi John,

Personal experience with the Monsoon cloud bursts on the Interstate highway...wipers did just fine clearing the windshield...

Best,
Phil

For me, if its raining that hard, like 3-4 in/min, hi speed doesn't really clear much better than lo. The 303 Graphene (apply sparingly or it will smear) does work well to cause the water to bead up and run off on its own without much help from the wipers. I use 303 on my motorcycle windshield and rain clears off easily with no wiper.

Before I check out tonight, I'll leave you with this to ponder....

If you sit in the drivers seat and turn the wipers on, it goes
left right left right left right.
But, if you stand in front of your Ranger and look at the windshield and turn the wipers on, it goes
right left right left right left.

Just one of life's little mysteries to think about while you drift of to nighty night land .

I guess I can say they do seem ever so slightly slower than my F150 wipers were, but the rangers is more than adequate for the job so no complaints from me.

Now I have to ask myself why I even remember how fast my F150 wipers wiped....

Can’t wait until it rains again so I can try this out. I’m having trouble believing it.
