Rear Wiper Speed

Has anyone figured out how to make the rear window wiper go a little faster? It goes much faster in reverse for obvious reasons, but it'd be nice to have go a little faster in heavy rain.

I believe it correlates with front wiper speed. What happens if you put the front wipers on as fast as they go? (Manually, not using the Auto feature)

I could be confusing it with one of my prior vehicles, though. Not sure.

I do believe the rear wipers activate every X wipes of the front wipers. That can be coded to activate them more or less frequently.
Not sure about manually activating the wipers to go on full.

It has two speeds, go and stop.

I believe the wiper ratio is 5:1 front:back.

I'll have to check the ratio next time it rains. I haven't really noticed a change when the front wiper goes faster.
