I think I have same issue, wipers just too fast on the slowest intermittent setting even in minimal drizzle although sometimes they settle down and work OK for a while. I noticed scratches at the front end of the roof gutters which suggest mine might have had the screen replaced. I will await further updates with interest.

Mostly I gave up on the subject
No one so far can pin point the fault
Only thing made it better - I used foam, stuffed it into sensor holder to press it harder to windscreen....made it a lot better
Auto lights are on all the time still
Went to tps and wipers/lights ecu is around 300£ but don't want to spend that really not knowing what the fault exactly is

Thumbs up

So this weekend I thought I'd give the windscreen a good clean inside and out and then treated the outside to some rainX I found lurking in the back of the garage. Guess what., wipers loads better and pretty well behaving themselves since. Suggest you give it a try.
