My MY13 model gives me a single wipe when pressed down, if held down it carries on wiping but not on fast speed.

But your FL2 will have 'winter wiper parking' which your D3 wouldn't. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

But I don't have a heated windscreen. Or is it just to put them where the vents will defrost? Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018
