Confused
« on: 11 April 2005, 19:02 »
Someone please help me. I cant seem to switch on my rear wiper without spraying the back window at the same time. I know its like a tap on tap off system, but it doesnt matter how gently i tap the blasted thing, it still sprays. What am I doing wrong? Is there a knack to it? Its driving me crazy.  :angry:

So its not just me then? Still sooo annoying though. Thats the one thing I can say I really dont like about the car. Its like an incontinence problem. lol

How annoying. I thought it was just a fault, but its just me.
I've just been kindly informed by the other half that it doesnt do it if I 'do it right'. So apparantly it is just me then!  :angry:
