Raintracker

...anyone ever fitted one of these?

http://www.accessiblevans.co.uk/rain.htm

Auto-wiper kit that has a small sensor on the windscreen to sense moisture/droplets/spray etc ... then activate the wipers accordingly.

I used to have this function on my BMW as a factory fitted option - found it very handy, and i hate mucking about with that little switch to adjust your wiper speed ... also when you get hit with a big spray from a passing car or lorry etc it'd be nice to have something that instantly wipes the screen rather than have to activate the stalk manually...

Seems pretty reasonable for £65 as well ...

Anyone here got one?

I don't like the disclaimer at the bottom of the advert....no returns. Surely this contravenes all uk legislation?
