My Vert is primarily a dry weather, top down car to have fun in.

I drove it for 2 years before I needed to use the wipers, and I'll admit I had to pull over and figure the stalk switch out.

I was also surprised when the headlights turned on whenever the wipers were used. I've read the Manual but skipped over the wipers section.

Of course I had to have the car re-painted after this unfortunate event.

I'm only relating this embarrassment because it's one of the 'steps' mandated by the Forum as a requirement of responsible Corvette ownership.

The shame.
