That is the way it is. I noticed that under certain rain conditions the intermittent selection could cycle a little faster. The wiper on selection is to fast and intermittent to slow. Should have one more in between selection. My work car does.

Yes, the shorter interval is still longer than my daily driver. And I miss that speed, not a big deal.

Yes its the way its set up from the factory. I loosened mine and dropped it down. It now sits right on the top of the filler panel below the windshield. The only thing you need to be carful of is when you pick up the wiper arm and blade to clean the windshield (hood open)
be careful when you pick it up or put it down, the blade will hit the fender if you forget to hold it away when putting it up or down.
