Wiper Speed

After getting my 2011, I notices that the wiper speed controll didn't seem right. I couldn't remember if it was the same as my 2005. I thought the smallest point of the triangle meant faster speeds as to the taller end being the slowest but not in this case. I just wanted to ask and see if everyone's is like this. I've attached a pic to show what I'm talking about.

 

They changed it a couple of times.
Yes, your 2005 most likely went slower with the knob all the way "up"

 

YES!

I always SWORE my 2009 was back-asswards from my 2007!

It seems backwards to me, the shorter should be faster but it's not. Glad to know I am not entirely insane.

 

My '09 is backwards from my wife's '07 Camry. Drives me nuts when I drive one, then the other.

 

My 13 is backwards.....i was very confused the first time i used them.

 

You can change it.
The '05-'08 stalk will work on the later models.
I'm not 100% on the 12/13, but if it doesn't work, you'll be able to unload it here.

 

I prefer it the 2009+ way. It's similar to volume control knobs. Fat end of triangle = greater intensity.

 

i dont use wipers......

 

Fixed it for you.

 

awesome!

 

Yes...it's bass-ackwards! I always turn it the wrong way!

 

The symbol on my 2011 Subaru is opposite to my Taco, small end of triangle denotes higher speed. However, the ring is rotated in the same direction, forward = higher speed.

 

Ha. Just had this conversation with my wife the other day. I'm like, thinner line=less time, thicker line should be longer time. She is saying, na the thicker line means more rain/intensity so faster wiping.

Either way, just have to get used to it. But it is ass backwards.

 

I look at it the other way.
I pull the stalk down one click for intermittent.
I turn the knob "down" to gradually increase the speed.
When it's not fast enough, I pull the stalk down another click.

It's a natural progression, one continuous motion.

 

Yup, noticed it was backwards when I changed from my 2005 to 2010! To me when the speed symbol is thinnest, it should mean a shorter break between wipes and widest should be the longest time between wipes!?? The 2010 has the widest being the shortest time between wipes...
