Windshield wiper problems
Maybe it's just me, but has anyone else noticed what a pain in the a$$ the windshield wipers are to work around when you are washing your car? Mine barely touch the end of the hood when I lift them up, so now I have little spots where the paint is rubbed away on the hood.

The purpose from memory is that in areas that snow you do not want the arm to go all the way down since it would be obstructed by snow it just cleaned away. Thus, there is a receeded mode and ??? mode.
If you don't have the manual let me know and I'll go look into mine.

stand on the drivers side of the car facing the wipers grab the drivers side wiper and pull up in the angle your winsheild goes in..now pull hard....CLICK (it's a really scary CLICK...almost like you broke it CLICK...but it's OK) Now both your wipers are in the winter position
When you're done doing whatever you're doing with the wipers just push the drivers side one down again..CLICK...back in summer position.
