Looking to make the Wipers go faster???

recently here in Kc we got hit by a heavy rain storm and my poor wipers could not go fast enough so i was wondering is there a way to get a wiper motor that works faster than what came on my 96xj? and that would work?

Dude. If it's that bad that you can't see with the wipers on high, slow down.

You could probably modify the system, but it would still be able to rain beyond the capability of the wipers, since there is some measure of time between sweeps.

I was going to come back with that, too. RainX will keep your windshield clear.

Rain X...works...but it does weaken the rubber on your wiper blades, if you have rubber ones. Rainy season is almost over here.
