What are Intermittent Windshield Wipers?
Intermittent windshield wipers operate in timed intervals rather than constantly. This keeps a windshield clean in conditions of misting or very light rain. In these conditions, constant wiping dries the window, causing blades to stick and squeak as rubber drags across glass. Prior to the invention of intermittent windshield wipers, the solution was to turn the wipers on, let them wipe the windshield once or twice, then turn them off, repeating this process several times a minute.
