I'm the proud new owner of a '99 and I can't figure out what the heck this variable **** is for. The end rotates up and down as indicated by the arrows. I need to get an owner's manual...

As Mike said it controls the "speed" or delay sweep of your wipers in "intermitant" (Spelling?) mode.

Alright, see, I would have had to have the wipers on delay to figure that out. Thought I had tried everything. Thanks!

(At one point I even thought it might be the volume of fluid sprayed on the windshield).
