It's a bit ambiguous, but not really incorrect - instead of thinking of it as "wiper speed low > high" think of it as "wipe interval low > high".
Makes more sense then i.e., the higher the value, the longer the time between each wipe.

Isn't that right? The longer bar means longer interval?

I seem to remember someone did mention it on a post somewhere fairly recently.
I don't know what the manual says, but I'd read it as the length of delay (longest delay = slowest speed) so it makes sense in my eyes...

depends how you read it, widest part of the stripe means biggest gap between wiper strokes, thinner less time between (@midlife_sportscar @Conscript and @KobayashiMaru86 you beat me to it!)

Took a photo of it.
That's all I've done with my GR86 for 2 weeks lol

I’d say it’s correct, it has longer intervals just like the stalk shows
Remark fitted (yesterday, £60. via a mobile mechanic, 45 minutes)
Duck tail fitted (hole free)
LED lights, cabin and reversing fitted
pre all that a nice 45 mile run on the back roads of Dorset, between Dorchester, Wareham and Weymouth.
Remark cold start, when the chokes on is a tad loud, but one neighbour likes the noise and the other is deaf, so alls good.
Since I’m running in the 2.5k rpm area seems to be a bit boomy, minute you out of 3rd it quietens down, fine noise wise at cruising speed and across the whole rev range (that I’ve explored).
i’m going to use the running time as a marker for more revs, up to 20 hours keeping it (mostly under 3.5k), then the next 20 hours under 4.5k and after that the occasional blast to 5k. At current progress I’m guessing 50 driving hours to hit 1000 miles.

DIY fitted my Remark this morning. Echo the above. Cruises well and really makes the car that bit more enjoyable. The pops on down changes are lots of fun. Not stupid loud at high RPM.

After 780km I was done with break in and took the car to the track. It performed very well and felt great. I have HKS Hipermax S coil overs, Ferodo DS1.11 brake pads, Motul RBF660 brake fluid and 225/40 Bridgestone Potenza Race tires on 9” wheels with approx 2.5 degrees camber front and 2 degrees in the rear. Very happy and looking forward to next track day!

Looks great, hoping to do something similar myself.
How does it ride on the road?

It rides great on the road, with 20 clicks out on the dampers. And with 10 clicks or less on track.

Washed mine today, really needed to, it was filthy (I’m making sure I drive it way more than I wash it). Would have taken photos but it can’t have been more than a few seconds after I’d finished that the rain came. Oh well, it’s still way cleaner than it was a few hours ago.

Washed mine too. It’s interesting how the Ignition red change with different lights from red to almost hot orange.

Took my 'other' car to a classic car show in the village and came back with enough time to give the 'proper' car a wash - it was more dusty than anything and added a layer of Soft99 carnauba wax to the bonnet and boot.
