Default Wipers Won't Park

I noticed recently that my wipers don't lay down flat anymore. I trust there isn't a setting that I've missed? I suppose it's a "dealer has to fix it" problem.
Anyone else seen this?

Just remember to do the passenger side one, don't do this on the driver side. The passenger one will push both down.

I was wondering how you parked the wipers to change the blades on this car. Just tried it. Snow mode brings the arms up just high enough to clear the edge of the hood and pivot up for the blade change.

This has gotten on my nerves so badly. I can't believe it was that easy of a fix. Thanks for posting.

A good idea to do this before getting a state inspection. I learned the hard way on my last car. The inspector guy pulled up to check the blades and scratched the paint right in my line of sight from the drivers seat.

Line him up on the firingsquad.
Make him walk the plank.
Burn him on the stake.

In that order if they scratch your car.
