Smile Windshield wiper adjustment for cleaning windshield

Is there any way to clean under the wiper without turning the wipers on and stopping in the up position? ie. manual movement.

Thanks

If you pop the hood it will give you a litttle bit more room to work.
But I doubt you will be able to prop them up fully with the hood open.

i can't remember for the sc430 anymore, but for the gs400, the wipers could be on two different locations, one is the bottom most, or you can push it up a little for the snow position, where you can completely lift it up for cleaning.

maybe you can check the manual to make sure (if there is a snow position)

Turn on the car, turn on the wiper with some water on the windshield first. Turn off the key while the wiper is in the middle. Then clean the entire window and under the wiper. Turn off wiper, turn on key, finish cleaning window. No scratches and clean window.
