Default Winter Mode Wiper Adjustment

Repost warning.

My car is garaged, but I had to run out Friday during the snow storm we got in NY. While I was driving the snow accumulated under the wipers and displaced the passenger side, it was sitting a few inches higher than usual. I always flip my wipers up after driving in the snow, so I figured I just messed it up. Did a quick search on google and found this link. Basically, the car is set to do that if there's any accumulation under the wipers. Just lift the passenger side up about two inches, and gently push down - it clicks into place.

Yep been on the GS for a while but it is not automatic as you need to manually do it yourself.

Also you need to be quite firm when setting the wipers back into their normal position.
