The delayed swipe functions as it was supposed to: Wipes away >remaining dregs after a wash. I totally disagree. I found this to be one of the most annoying things I've ever experienced while driving a car. I hate driving with a dirty windshield and it simply was not possible to have a clean windshield with this feature. Any small amount of dirty, salty or otherwise impure water that gets on the glass between the last regular swipe and the delayed one will ALWAYS result in a freakin' smear. I am very aware of what this feature is intended to do, and in theory, it sounds fine. But in everyday use in the real world, especially in the winter, the feature (flaw) was a major pain in the ass. > >???

Dont even get me started on all of the major problems, we dont have enough time for that. Tim.
