Adjusting wiper variable speed

Does anyone know of a way to further slow down the variable wiper speed from its slowest setting? I find in a light rain that its sweeping too often. About half the slowest interval at the slowest setting would be perfect, IMO. Doesn't help for those of us with juddering wiper issues also.

I can't answer your question directly but I can offer an alternative solution. Turn the wipers off and use the single wipe when necessary by pressing the stalk in. I do that and then turn the wipers on when I need to.

I haven't found the way to do this. But I really miss this option. I don't have the wiper issue. Further more I use RAINx. I live in an area where we get some very heavy rain in the summer and wipers alone won't do the work. I wouldn't be able to drive without RAINx. The drawback is that with light rain I would like to be able to adjust the speed.

I had an Audi that had horrible judder issue with RAINx ... and then I tried something totally odd ... bought a new bottle. The older bottle was bad, the new bottle had no issues. Not sure if I had a bad bottle (it was old) or if it was age related to the material degrading. Nonetheless, when I pick up my GLC43 this weekend, I am still going to clean with Bon Ami and then use a new bottle of RAINx.
