Rain-Sensing Windshield Wiper Technology
When driving in wet weather, reaching for and adjusting the speed of your windshield wipers is distracting. It's also an inconvenience that millions of drivers are now avoiding. Rain Sensor Wiper Systems sense the amount of water on a windshield and automatically adjust the intermittent wiper intensity. In the case of a sudden splash or thunderstorm, some rain sensor systems can detect the water on the windshield and start the wipers in less than a second.
Rain-Sensing Technology Makes Driving Safer
The amount of rain or snow hitting a vehicle windshield is constantly changing due to vehicle speed, traffic, wind, and weather conditions. Frequent adjustment of the wiper controls during these conditions is distracting and potentially unsafe.
The NHTSA (The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
has stated that driver distraction was a primary factor in at least 26% of
fatal accidents in a one-year period. When driving in bad weather, less
distraction due to Rain Sensor Wiper Systems equals greater safety.
Rain-Sensing Technology Requires Original Equipment (OE) Quality
Auto Glass
A vast majority of rain-sensing systems provided by vehicle manufacturers require a specific Original Equipment (OE) windshield with unique optical characteristics in order to operate correctly. If you have a damaged windshield with a Rain Sensor Wiper System, our trusted experts can tell you exactly what type of windshield and expertise you will need to repair or replace it. |
