How to Lift Up Volkswagen Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
Volkswagen wiper blades can be lifted up by simply pulling the wiper arm upward. The wiper has a metal wiper arm to which the wiper blade is attached, and the lower part of the metal wiper arm is connected to the wiper motor. There is a spring inside the metal wiper arm. When replacing the wiper blade, you only need to pull the wiper arm upward to lift it up, allowing for the replacement of the wiper blade. The Volkswagen Passat is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a water-cooled engine, available in seven models: 2.0L Manual Premium, Automatic Premium, 1.8T Manual Premium, Manual Elite, 1.8T Tiptronic Elite, Tiptronic Premium, and 2.8L V6 Tiptronic Ultimate.
I often maintain my car myself and know that in winter, it's necessary to lift the wipers to prevent freezing. Volkswagen cars usually have a special service mode: after turning off the engine, immediately press the wiper control lever downward for a few seconds, and the wipers will stop in the middle of the windshield. At this point, gently lift the wiper arm to stand it up. Never force it, as this could damage the motor or the wiper blades. Some newer models even have smart settings, such as operating through the vehicle's menu. I recommend checking the manual first, as the procedure may differ between models like the Volkswagen Golf and Tiguan. Doing this regularly also allows you to check for wiper blade wear, saving you from poor visibility in summer. Safety first—never do this while the engine is running to avoid accidental activation and potential injury.
