Subject: Auto rain-sensor wipers on '02 9-5 Aero
I finally put a new windshield on my 9-5 Aero -- the original had several
cracks in it, including one that happened at 25mph, when the car was a
month old. Grr.
Anyway. It doesn't rain all that often here, so I don't use the wipers
very often. I'm fairly certain the rain-sensors were working OK before the
new windshield went in, but now they don't. The wipers just run twice
every 8 seconds, like clockwork, rain or shine.
Any idea how I could fix this?
While I'm at it, is there any way to order OEM Saab wiper blades? I still
have the wiper assemblies, I just want the rubber squeegee part. Those
were the best wipers I ever had: never squeaked or chattered, never
streaked, and lasted over 3 years in the Colorado sun. I ordered some new
wipers at the Saab dealer and they just gave me basic Anco junk.
Thanks,
Gary
