Silly Question?
« on: 17 April 2008, 09:49 »
 :embarassed: How do I make the wipers sit up enough so that I can raise them when cleaning the car? Its probably a really dumb question but I still dont know and thought I better ask. :embarassed:

put the key in, don't turn it.
press the wiper stalk down until the move and they will stop in a vertical position.
