Mine only turn on when there's actual rain.
Mine work well. No issues and I like them. I wonder if you sensor has in installation issue?You're all right. Glad this came up since I have to say the auto wipers are horrid. They are WAY too agressive even at low speeds and wipe like maniacs for even small amounts of rain no matter where the dial in intermittent is set at. To make matters worse there seems to be no manual intermittent choice available if you have auto wipers installed, only auto then medium and fast speed. Sorry guys I think they suck.
Touring only.Do automatic rain sensing wipers come standard on all Insights -- or only the Touring trim?

Hmmm. Thanks for the info. I'll try them again and have the dealer look at them.
I too find the Auto mode of the wipers on my Touring model to be unpredictable (lower models have Int mode). I understand that they're supposed to vary the speed depending on the amount of rain. And that Low means low sensitivity and High means high sensitivity, i.e., not directly correlated to the wiper frequency. But even on Low, I sometimes find the wipers going very fast and then they won't stop or slow down even though rain has ceased!
I think crap about covers it. 🙄There were some complaints in this forum early on about the automatic windshield wiper function, such as the wipers suddenly and inappropriately "speeding up" (without pause between swipes as when dealing with a light mist) after a few minutes of normal operation. Either we've all just adapted and accepted the function is crap- or maybe there is a fix or "trick" that I don't know about?
I rotate the dial on the stalk when I think the auto wipe speed is too fast or too slow, and it mollifies me. Rotating it away from you is supposed to speed them up, and rotating toward you is supposed to slow it down. The key word is "supposed". There's no sweet spot. There is just too fast or too slow.I think crap about covers it. 🙄
