I am confused about wich blade to push down for summer mode?

SeattleGS400 says "When you push it down, push it at close to the end of the strong wiper arm (i.e. don't push at the flimsy wiper blade)--if doing it by yourself, push at the driver's side wiper arm" post# 59.
what are your experiences with this hidden feature ? Thanks

I am 6' 3" so I really appreciated the extra extension I was able to get from from steering column by pushing on the control 8 times (I think it was 8). Also, don't recall if it was mentioned, but the "winter" setting for the windshield wipers is also the one to use when you are changing the inserts or cleaning them off.

My favorite that I haven't seen mentioned is being able to adjust the subwoofer volume and the equilizer setting by hacking into the headunit.
Hold down 1 and 6 push CD 3 times and then hold down the AM button for 4 seconds and adjust and enjoy, you always have to go back to Audio and then shut off the car for the adjustments to work. Toggle between the FM and Tape adjustments from my knowledge P1 ups the sub I usually have mine on 3, 4 or sometimes 5 if I'm feeling really bassy. The F and R I usually have at 5 but sometimes up to 7, this works inversely the higher the number the more it suppresses the front and rear compared to the sub, it's more complicated than that some techie will get on here and yell at me but that's how I can understand it. Helps stock sub tremendously IMHO. I think to get to the NAV diagnostics turn the key to ON then hold the climate and audio buttons down while turning the park lights on and off about 3 times.

I think to get to the NAV diagnostics turn the key to ON then hold the climate and audio buttons down while turning the park lights on and off about 3 times. You don't need to turn it up all the way, mine is definitely not distorted but it makes a definite difference.
