Question Rain Sensing Wipers
Is there any way to adjust the sensativity on the wipers?

They activate too often in my opinion, and wind up squeeking across the windshield when it's still too dry.

Also just curious, where is the sensor located for this feature?

Thanks

The sensor is located behind the rearview mirror. I believe sensitivity can be adjusted by the dealer. Call and ask.

My 08 has two intermittent positions - low sensitivity and high sensitivity. Check the manual - the higher sensitivity operates more often in light rain/mist.
