Hi guys - I recently got my windshield replaced and noticed my passenger side wiper blade doesn’t go all the way down now. Did a little reading and some posts say it might be in winter/ snow mode, is this the case for me? I have looked everywhere in the owner’s manual and can’t find where to correct this issue.

Help! Thanks!

No such thing on the IS. The person who put your windshield on just didn't put your passenger side wiper back in the right position. It's an easy fix - just remove the nut that holds the wiper arm on, pull it off the splined post, put it back on the splined post in the correct position and replace the nut.

While on this topic, does any know the wiper arm nut torque spec? I'm actually wanting to remove the cowl to coat or paint it before installing my new windshield trim pieces.
