Rain sensing wipers

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the rain sensing wipers and just have regular variable intermittent wiper speed control.

Although supposedly variable, I find the rain sensor to be too sensitive, consequently the wipers are always over wiping.

Hi Rich,

I'm in Sydney at the moment, brought the car up on the ferry on Monday (2 hr trip), and it was raining all day here. Hence got to test the wipers out for the first time. Found that I have little control of the rate of wiping on intermittent, so resorted to leaving wipers off and manually doing a sweep wipe most of the time. Annoying Sad
