windscreen wipers

**Tigger** · 08-03-2010, 07:25 AM

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to allow the front wipers arms to be opened out to give full access to the windscreen without hitting the bonnet?
Is there some sort of setting or button to press before trying to open them out?
I am careful when I open them out, but have seen other people just yank them and hit the lip of the bonnet and chip the paint!! (not on my car though...they would only do it once...ha ha!)

I believe there is a setting that allows the windscreen wipers to move out of the way to allow bonnet opening.
It would be in the manual or on this forum/vortex.

Edit: found it
Derek (NZTiguan) noted it.

Turn the key on and off and then flick the wiper stalk, the wipers will come up to the "service" position.
