How to Lift the Windshield Wipers Up?
2 Answers
To lift the windshield wipers up, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition on and then off; 2. Lift the wiper lever on the right side of the steering wheel upward toward the roof and hold it for 3 seconds—make sure to lift it all the way up; 3. The wipers will automatically move to the highest position and stop, at which point you can lift them up; 4. After completing the operation, lower the wipers and operate the wiper switch, and the wipers will automatically return to their original position. Windshield wipers are tools installed on the front glass of motor vehicles to prevent rain and other debris from obstructing the driver's view. Temperature changes, gravel, dust, etc., can shorten the lifespan of wiper blades. Regularly cleaning dirt from the windshield and wiper blades, especially after rain, can reduce unnecessary wear and extend the lifespan of the wiper blades.
I've been driving for years, and lifting the wipers is quite common, especially in winter or before washing the car. First, park and turn off the engine, ensuring the car is safely shut down. Then, turn on the ignition to power the car without starting the engine. Quickly press the wiper switch to the intermittent position, allowing the wipers to run half a cycle and stop. Wait until the wiper arms are in the middle of the windshield, then turn off the switch. At this point, gently lift the wiper arms manually to a vertical position, and you're done. This trick prevents the wipers from freezing or sticking to the glass, extending their lifespan. Be careful not to use too much force during the operation—the wiper arms have a spring mechanism, and pulling too hard can damage the motor. It's best to make this a habit every time you finish driving, keeping the windshield cleaner and making your drive more worry-free.
