Re: Giulia Super wipers

["Thomas Moll" <moltek@domain.elided>]

I think the wipers were designed for light mist and light rain. That's why
the two speeds are extra really slow and really slow. I don't know if they
were all designed that way but that is the way the wipers work on all older
Alfas I've driven in the rain. Does anyone tried to increase the speed by
upgrading the wiper motor? Either with larger brushes or a motor from some
other vehicle.
