Civic windsreen wiper

Hello everybody,

I've just got a new Civic 1.6 vtec executive automatic. I live in Scotland & I'm sure you've heard about our lovely weather. The windscreen wiper is just not fast enough. I contacted the Honda dealer but they were not aware of anyway to increase the speed of the wiper. I welcome any suggestions.

Cheers

RainX to clear the windshield faster?
Really the only way you can speed it up is to rip the circutry apart and get more voltage to the motor so it runs faster, or change the gearing that runs the wipers. I don't think either is really feasible.
