Automatic windshield wipers
 

I was checking online just to see how automatic windshield wipers work. While i was looking i found out you can put them in your car!Here is the site.http://www.raintracker.com/buy_raintracker.htm . Ithink it's worth it, especially if you don't have variable intermittent wipers.

well whats cool is i have those rain sensing wipers.. they work soo well to be honest. everytime im in the rain. they just turn on. the best thing ever IMO. if you do alot of driving in alot of rainy/snowy conditions.. id reccommend it.

Be mindfull Jamie. I had left my wipers in auto last night and "bam", they came on with the frozen windshield. Lucky I did not tear the blades, this time. I have to remember to shut off the auto before I shut down at night. ;)

Good advice!

That's cool thatthe 2.0's come with auto wipers in Cananda. I don't see why they dont come with them down here.I have an 05 2.3 and i dont even have variable intermittents. i hate when i have to put on the first speed wipe when its barely raining, butI can't see when i have it on intermittent. That's the only reason i want it. Also, it will be cool to have it. I'm just afraid about installing it. I might mess something up.

I find it remarkable that a reasonably priced car like a Mazda 3 can have this feature. I have an upscale SUV that has this as well, but you would expect this feature on this. Also, My vehicle does not have a telescoping steering wheel, and the 3 does. It just goes to show, the Mazda 3 punches a lot of content f0r a decent dollar.

this may be a little off topic. but the stock wipers on the mazda sucks. which ones do u guys suggest?

RE: Automatic windshield wipers
 

haha my car totally owns yours lol. not really but it works out. yet my car sits in the garage while.. *sighs* mine is out in the freezing cold. oh well. anyway those automatic wipers are probably the greatest thing ever. i just put it on auto. and when rain hits it BAM. it turns on.

Off-topic AGAIN, SPeeDy?? :D :D :D
The newer beam blades seems among the best. They will form to your widshield much better than the others.Most manufacturer's make a type of them these days.
I've heard that silicone blades are really good too and for me it was a toss up.
I'm running Trico NeoForms (beam blade,) but not all the info is in yet. Only had 'em for a few months. I will say that when I first put them on that I did not know just how loud standard blades are. These things do not collect the wind like old style blades and because are so quiet. I did have a squeak from them a few weeks ago but a quick cleaning and they're OK again.
The downside is they are not refillable and they cost more. Also, I haven't seen any that are short enough to do the rear, backlight blade.

Surly, you ARE kidding right?

RE: Automatic windshield wipers
 

hmmm. i dont need to buy 2. or one for that matter.if it breaks.. *hello achillies mazda. can you fix this. it isnt working.. tomorrow. sure thank you* mwahahaha lol.

I'm sure he's kidding, Jaime.

Nice find on the mod. I installed variable intermittant wipers in my '05 with a module built by a member of mazda3forums. He's the one I go to whenever I have random wiring questions. For those of you with pre-06's who are interested in variable intermittant wipers PM billm on that forum.

As for what wipers I recommend, go with the Bosch Icons and you won't be disappointed.
