The 97s only have three setting? My 2000 has 3 or 4 intermittent setting along with the 2 other speeds. I think.

Ya 4 settings for intermediate/slow, med, fast.. But I agree, the fast isnt all that fast. RainX helps out A LOT. Sometimes I dont even need to use my wipers with a fresh coat of rainX

what is the rainX? just a spray stuff that makes the water roll off? like a wax for the windshield?

Pretty mcuh. It makes the water bead up and roll off the windshield without streaking, etc.. You can get it pretty much anywhere..

Hmmm, my 97 has no problems. There seems to be like 4 intermittent settings, then constant normal, then constant fast.

You must not have gotten the turbo-wiper option in your package.

Maybe your wiper motor is on its last leg, and not performing up to snuff. The rain-x should help a lot though.
