Ok, the only thing that annoys me in my balt is the stupid wipers.... I mean WTF, our fastest setting is like the slowest setting on my girls cavy. And thats a 98 base POS. The cavys wiper speed blows ours out of the water. Is there anything to beef up the speed of my wipers? something. there useless in moderate rain with mist from other cars on the highway.

 

think this is somthing your going to have to get over

 

mine seem fine...

 

i think the wipers are fine. the one thing that annoys me is that the gauges only illuminate by the sensor, and don't turn on when you turn on the driving lights/headlights yourself.
not to thread jack or anything. but maybe theres something wrong with yours?

 

theres nothing wrong with mine, im jsut used to my taurs's and my girls cavy which are faster.

 

im sure you could find a chip on ebay

 

Maybe i can swap cavy motors in it

 

There speed sensitive wipers.When you start driving,they speed up.

 

um...you dont know what im talking about push the lever up 3 clicks and your at the highest speed.

 

no offense, but you dont.

he speaks the truth. go on the '3rd click', put the intermittent thing up highest, and do 15 or 20mph. then do 65.

bigggg difference in speed.

 

Shouldn't this be in the "war stories" section?
'Wow! my wipers got beat by a Honda yesterday, anyone tried a stage 3 wiper yet?"

lol @ denniss...Yeah, as you increase speed, your wipers increase speed. You didn't know our wipers were turbo'd?? That's where all the turbo myths were comin from, people were gettin our engines comfused with the wiper motors. Once you get them wipers boostin...WHOOOO!!!!

Rain X FTW!! Hit your windshield with a nice coat of Rain X and you won't need them wipers too much anywayz.

 

yeah mine are slow as ***** too.
and the intermittent only works when you are on the first click. thats the only time i notice it go faster

 

Rain-X FTMFW!!! I've done that on every one of my vehicles. Half the time I don't even have to turn on the wipers.

 

I went from a 98 Cavy to the Cobalt.....wipers in the Cobalt seem normal to me I don't really notice a different from the Cav, maybe you've got an issue with yours???

 

I've noticed that the fastest setting is a little slower than other cars....but I don't think its a huge problem. The Cav wipers were just too fast for their own good....when I had mine and I never used the highest setting because I was always afraid that the whole arm was going to rip off my car.

 

don't make fun of me but i only just discovered this stuff, used it the other day, works like a charm!
ran-x definately FTMFW!!!

 

Odd, I went from an 04 Cavi to my Balt and they seem the same.

 

Who even uses Wipers anymore. RAIN-X FTW

 

You must have the SS/SC .....Everybody knows that the reason that engine has more HP is because the 2.2l and 2.4l are directly powering the wipers by pulley, and that's why they have less torque
