It really requires very little concentration and you don't have to look
away from the road.  Flip lever down to int and back up, the wipers make
one pass.  When enough rain gets on the windshield that you'd like it to be
wiped off, flip the lever back to int.  You are done.  If you can't handle
that, you definitely should not be adjusting things like the heater, radio,
rear defogger while driving.  You probably shouldn't be driving at all.  <G>.

I will get the part number and post it later.
