It's been like that since the day I drove it off the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought that, in light rain, the auto-wipers on our 2011 Edge were too slow. In light rain, the auto-wipers on my 2018 Mustang are too fast. I’d still rather have them than not.

silvrsvt Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 I used to get a "ghost wipe" on my SHO when it wasn't raining out every once in a while with the Auto wiper system...wasn't a fan of that nor the auto highbeams that didn't work after my windshield got replaced.

Sounds like they didn't recalibrate the system and get a good seal when they replaced the windshield. I've never really had all these issues with the cars I've driven with Auto-wipers, BMW has the best system but all seem to work well; they are especially nice when you pass a truck on the road and they automatically speed up to combat the spray or on raining days where the speed of the rain changes. My family uses rain x on all our vehicles and my parents never complain about the rain sensing wipers going crazy, and that is something my mother would complain on. Though lately she is focused on when she plugs in her phone it automatically starts playing Apple music from the satellite radio station she had it set too. More importantly my build day is 3 weeks from today, fingers crossed that doesn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 FWIW Mike Levine contacted me and asked if I would interview with both The Drive and The Detroit News about being "one of the first" customer Bronco deliveries in the country! Both interviews were done this morning, not sure when they'll publish but I'll share when they do. Wild time, guys. 9 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a real passion for Ford and your Bronco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have good things to say about the Bronco, but he was complaining about the 'missing' pillar between the front and back seats and how bad the sound was because it didn't have speakers behind the drivers head. He complained about the windows drop when the door is opened--I think it's a great idea, but he believes it won't be dependable. What's more important the stereo or how the vehicle was put together?

Anthony Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) I just saw Tommy’s video about his new Jeep (which explains a lot). He mentioned that the Bronco doesn’t offer a soft top in the 2 door? How did I miss that all the past year? Edited July 3, 2021 by Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensetivity in auto wipe mode is adjusted by the intermittent wipe setting.... but I used it for years before I figured that out! I keep my wipers set around the mid intermittent range all the time now so they'll wipe and turn on the headlights when it starts to rain, then I tweak the setting as required for the best response. When set right they only take a swipe when needed in lighter rains and auto adjust up to full speed in heavier rains.
