| Parking windscreen wipers off screen |
|
In all the cars I've had in the past it was possible to lift up the windscreen wipers and leave them positioned at about 90° away from the windscreen. This is the usual practice here, to stop the wipers freezing to the screen.
It is snowing a rather wet snow today, so I wanted to do that after I parked the car. But when I tried it on the D3, it didn't seem possible to move the wipers to the 90° position (not without force, anyhow). Is there some trick I don't know? Or should I force them? Can you leave the wipers parked away from the screen at all on the D3?

I've thought this is strange why you can't lif the wipers (on our RRS), as there seems to be the room for the arms to lift up.
Maybe you'll have to just place a small block of wood under each arm so the wiper blades are lifted off the screen. Matt
