Is it possible to change the Windshield Wiper sensitivity?
I have lived with my GLE350 for a year. And the sensitivity on the first setting for the automatic wipers is a little too sensitive for me. It wipes A LOT. The second setting- even more!
Does anyone know if it is possible for the dealer to adjust the sensitivity to wipe a little less? Thanks!!- Chris

Not to my knowledge, based on what I've read in the manual.

you might want the dealer to look at it. not sure what "A LOT" is, but mine swipes on a reasonable cycle based on rain. i don't even move it past the first notch. maybe your rain sensor is bad. good luck, ron

I would agree with this as well. While "a lot" is subjective, they do seem to be super sensitive...
