Paul, thanks for the great idea. Is there a company in the US that has the same switch?

It looks like the problem is if you want the fluted rotary knob switch and you want it to park as well.  Going to the toggle switch makes it easy. |

The other alternative is to NOT use your wipers. I haven't yet. No plans to either. |

Well if you're not going to use them then you definitely want the the fluted rotary knobs to satisfy the originality aficionados.  You can just practice turning them off so they're parked in the right spot. Or rig up the "parking circuit" some how. |

Not that I'm originality freak (see "428Street"  , just joshing), but were these fluted rotory knobs on the S/C's or did they have wipers at all? |

I honestly don't know. I was just always fascinated at the lengths ERA had to go to get them to park properly. That's why I jumped on this thread.  |

One trip along Skyline on an early morning and you'll find that RainX won't be enough....and you'll be reaching for the wipers.

Over here in the UK, you can't rely on any journey being completely dry.
