Does anyone else have this on the Insignia? Is there a way to switch it on and off? Because ive never witnessed mine working automatically


I know you can switch the automatic lights on or off but its not clear on the wipers

You've got to move the stalk to position 1 (like the intermittant setting) to activate the rain sensing wipers....I had it on my old astra, you think it would be automatic...!

Ah ok that makes sense. I thought it might be something to do with that. But seeing as it never rains when i try to give it a go i cant really test it lol

Thanks people :)

speaking about wipers, You may notice this when its raining, but what a stupid place to stop the passengers wiper, Right in the middle of the drivers veiwing area. but at the end of the day you only get what you pay for
After coming from a Lexus is200 this is great car to drive (so far)

i know i used to with my old vehicles. A good tip aswell, when u think the blades have worn out and need replacing, get a cloth and clean the blades with some vinegar. it honestly does work
