I have them on my OB and disabled them. If you have them, there is a spot on the windshield with a sensor in it, visible when looking at it.

The definitive answer is… it is merely a second paddle for the intermittent wipers. It does move on concert with the front paddle.

BTW, the shifter paddles are on the steering wheel.

On my '21 BL + BL model (somehow w/o the rain sensitive wiper option :frown: ) I just noticed that there is a paddle switch on the back of the wiper stalk - that is it faces towards the front of the car. I only discovered it because I accidentally turned on the rear wiper and was trying to figure out how to turn it off (I never use it). I can't find it in the manual but I am thinking it might be a delay for the back window but that doesn't seem to be it. Anyone know?
Rain-sensing only for Canada.

As in no US they don't have it, eh? ?
Yeah I am starting to get impression only on Canada. The 20 posts above that say Canada Only are sort of a clue hint maybe Canada only? But I think more Canada Only post needed cause we still have some confused....

Maybe the confusion is cause it's Canada Only on all trim levels... It is a Standard feature on the OB.

I did too. I feel it's way to finicky. I feel it either engages way to prematurely or there needs to be a monsoon before they turn on. There is no middle ground.
