Guys, question:

does your passenger side wiper blade interfere with road visibility?

This is currently how the passenger side wiper blade sits when not in use:

 

It looks like you have them in winter mode.

 

there are different modes?

i've had no idea, could you please elaborate?

 

Just push them down.

 

>there are different modes?
Yup, when in summer mode you grab the wiper and pull it up along the windshield. You'll feel it go "click" and it will stay positioned further up the windshield.
When in winter mode you grab it and push it downward and they will both move further down towards the hood.

I thought it was the reverse... up for winter, down for summer. That way when up for winter you can easily clear snow off them or even keep them off the windshield, down for summer to keep them out of the harsh sunlight.

 

I think you missed the "when in" part.

 

You are right.

 

Paradoxically the Heated Wiper Bed wires are under the "Summer" lower position.

 

i feel dumb...............but i really felt like ithe wiper blade arms were going to snap by me forcing the move

 

You get used to it. I do that every time I wash the car.

 

This is a great feature. Unfortunately eliminated for 2019... No more winter/summer positions...

 

>No more winter/summer positions...
But can you still "stand" the wipers up to get them out of the way during a snow storm?
The wipers on my Jaguar don't flip up making snow removal harder than with the Lexus...

Not from the rest position. You have to select the "mist" setting by pushing the stalk up within 45 seconds after turning your engine off and the wipers will go straight up and remain there. Then, and only then, you can pull them away from the windshield. Cannot be pulled out at rest position as they hit the back of the hood... Poor design IMO. I liked the summer/winter design much better...

 

wow, i just snapped it down.

it really felt like i was breaking something LOL.

i never even knew this was a featured, my gosh i must have been living under a rock
