Hello all, I decided to remove my rear speaker pods and intermitten rear wiper controller from my old wagon and install them into my new wagon, while doing so I'll write a how to on both since I didnt see one and I forgot who it was that PM'd me with a question about this wiper unit. So here we go. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Step 1: Obtain The Unit & Ditch This Pocket :wink:

Step 2: Remove Under Dash Panel - Coin Pocket - Steering Column Cover (helps also to remove the cluster if you wish, to access 1 hidden screw ontop to allow more freeplay on the dash to slide this in)

Step 3: Remove All Necessary Screws Holding The Plastics Down

Step 4: Mentally Prepare To Micky Mouse This Thing Into The Hole :roll:

Step 5: Install The Controller - Screw It Down

Step 6: Install & Route The Sub Harness - Tee's Into The Steering Column Wiper Switch

    Anything available to make the fronts more adjustable as far as delay timing?

    I opt for rain sensor if we go that far...

    That would be quite a bit more complex than adding an adjustable delay. Surely some foreign model civic or rex got some sort of adjustable front wiper delay.

    Ya, I mean if you really wanted to you could go aftermarket, back in the 80's my mom had a corolla that had a delay for the front wipers, it was a little aftermarket box with a slider knob that slid sideways, and was adjustable up to 20 seconds, kinda cool. But aftermarket :roll:

    Raintracker makes one.I think it was $60-$80(shipping cost??).Won't read if you get Rain-X over the sensor.Looks like a good option based on cost.

    I'm thinkin 1 for the front & 1 for the rear.
