Anyone got automatic windscreen wipers? I'm told the Fiesta ones
actually come on when it's frosty, and rip the blades off. You'd think
they'd have a temperature sensor?

Mind you manual is as bad, I've yet to see a car which flicks the wipers
to off when you turn off the engine, otherwise the next morning they try
to wipe when frozen and you lose the rubber!

My last two cars have had them - rain sensing. But they cancel when you
switch off the engine - even if you leave the switch in that position. You
have to reset the switch after starting the engine. Anything else would be
stupid.

FWIW, neither system worked as well as I'd like. Despite several settings,
often wouldn't trigger with a wet screen.
