Windshield Wiper Question
Has anyone heard of your windshield wipers lifting up somehow? Bluelex told me there was a way to do this on the GS400? I guess to clean under them they lift up 
Is this true?

Tony, I don't know if this works for your GS, but for my ES, I would put both hands on the passenger wiper, and slowly apply pressure to slide up the wiper along the windshield until both wipers lock into the upper position. This is what we call "winter" mode where the wipers can then be lifted up and out of the way from the car to clear away snow/ice. But since we live in FL, that don't matter at all...

It happens with all "universal" blades. They are never cut exactly to the size that your car runs on the dealer/stock blades. I got mine from costco, and the passenger side blade is about a 1/8 inch off.
