windscreen wipers

Anyone know if the Auto setting is notoriously bad, or is it just mine.... I seem to swivel the stalk to no effect. it does work just not great.

are they rain sensing wipers on a 370? the rain sensing wipers on my beemer are useless, happy to sit there not wiping in a proper downpour, but in light spray they go mental. I would much rather just pick the speed myself like in the 350.

iirc, the sensitivity can be adjusted - check your handbook as it may be the auto lights I am thinking about. Also, I believe the gel holding the sensor to the screen can fail/weaken. If it is under warranty go the dealer for a fix.

 

I found the auto wipers worked very well on my 370, but if I did think an extra wipe(s) necessary I just flicked the lever down to on and off.

The wipers can definitely be adjusted. Mine were super sensitive (And very annoying) but on the stalk you should see a range thing (looks a bit like a volume but rotates vertically) give it a few seconds on a setting and it should settle down. Mines half way up the 3rd bar I think and that seems pretty spot on!

Even with the adjuster mine are still crap sometimes when its mist early morning they go like crazy so have to turn them off haha but hey its character. some features just arnt as refined as a german whip lol

The adjustment I was referring to above ^^^ is a software one

Ok i managed to solve it, i had it on minimum sensitivity, turned it up and it works well and i even read the manual, that i the promptly misunderstood. turning ht collar away from you clockwise make it more sensitive.
