Don't bother they are unreliable and get annoying after awhile due to inconsistencies. I switched back to regular old delay.

Don't bother. Ford's rain sensing wipers are terrible. I have had this feature on several cars and it has worked very well but on the F-150 it works poorly and basically puts the wipers on high even with a light sprinkle. I have had a 2019 Raptor and a 2020 F-150, both were the same crummy function, disabled it immediately.

I need to dig through the manual/forum on how to disable. Found out yesterday I have this feature as the wiper was going 10 minutes after the rain stopped. Out of all the things automated, im pretty sure i know when i need wipers or not.

Anything is possible. Seems you are the first to desire this feature, you can have mine if you'd like.

Do you have the windshield camera? The rain sensors use that camera.
