there are 2 positions for windshield wipers on our 2nd GS. one is low setting, this position is when your wipers sit under the hood and you can not take the wipers out of the windshield because the hood blocks the way.(i beleave your wipers are in this position). second position is high setting, it is when your wipers sit high on the windshield.
all you have to do is pull the wiper arms up so that they will pop up to the high position.you will have to pull them a bit hard. i was kinda afraid of breaking them the first time doing it, but everything's gonna be fine. after changing your wiper blade, push the wiper arms down to have the cool look of low position

i actually just changed mine to the michelin curved blade looking wipers. they are all correct about the high & low positioning, just a light tug of the passenger and it pops upwards, so dont pull too hard. the blades were 17$ each but they wipe clear with no streaks & no sounds.

IMO, the bosch ICON and Rain-X lattitude are identical. Those are the only type I'll put on a car because they just work. See above about getting them back down.
