yello620 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 You mention 79. Do you currently have intermittent wipers? Pretty sure i have one with the fiber optics still intact. Quote Link to comment

420n620 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 what are intermittent wipers ? intermittent windshield wipers operate in timed intervals rather than constantly. This keeps a windshield clean in conditions of misting or very light rain. In these conditions, constant wiping dries the window, causing blades to stick and squeak as rubber drags across glass. Prior to the invention of intermittent windshield wipers, the solution was to turn the wipers on, let them wipe the windshield once or twice, then turn them off, repeating this process several times a minute. This hassle is no longer necessary, thanks to inventor Robert Kearns (10 March 1927 - 9 February 2005), an Indiana man who saw an opportunity to improve on standard wipers. Kearns realized a need for wipers that would work on a delayed switch principle, and designed then patented intermittent windshield wipers in 1967. Kearns presented his idea to the three major auto companies, Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Chrysler, but none took him up on his idea. Beginning in 1969, however, Ford began introducing models with intermittent windshield wipers and the other automobile manufacturers followed. Quote Link to comment
