Rear wiper intermittent delay?
Regarding the rear wiper delay, RAVE says: "The intermittent delay is twice that of the front delay selected."
But on my 2002 the intermittent delay/speed is the same as the front wipers—far too frequent for all but torrential downpours. I almost never turn them on and am constantly half-pushing the butotn to tip the wipers without having to double press the button to turn them on and right back off. (I know someone around here hacked a second momentary switch for the rear wiper, but if the delay were just as described, that would eliminate the need, mostly.)
Is this a model-year difference? Is this a setting that can be changed in the BCU through programming? I'd really love the delay to be restored to twice OR even thrice (yeah, I'll get archaic with the language—these are British vehicles after all) that of the front delay.

Mine is the same interval as the front wipers too, and it's a 2001. It works well enough that I haven't thought of trying to fix it, assuming it is actually broken. So much mist comes up on the rear window here in Oregon in the wintertime that the same interval just works.
