Hi. We got a lot of snow today and my wipers went to the raised position. I am trying to get them back down but don't know how. I read the manual and it says to push them down? I tried but don't want to break them off. Do they go down automatically later? This makes no sense.

 

just push them down,

take the arm and push you have to use some force youll feel it click

 

Will they go down by themselves? I'm scared of breaking them.

 

You have to push. They wont do it by themselves. It will pop but you wont break them. Give it some force but nothing major.

 

Ok I'm going outside now. Will let you know in a few minutes!

 

Sounds good!

 

Woohoo it worked! This site is the best. Big reason why I got a tC back in 2006 haha. I sound like a noob on every thread but no question is dumb is what I say.

Thanks all!

 

Hey no prob man! Glad it worked!!

 

pushing down as i see its working but i wont push it down just like that. i dont want to brake the teeth off. i would take it off and put it lower... its a 3 mins job

 

that is INCORRECT.

unless the nut is loose, you will not damage the "teeth"
by doing what you are doing, you are completely misaligning the wiper blade to the correct position.

in the future, the wiper blade cannot go to its raised position, thus you are now placing the wiper blade in a position where it CAN BREAK.

and the only thing you achieved is now you can lower the wiper blade into the damn hood because you misaligned it.

as if people can't figure the damn thing out... RTFM.

 

i remember when i had a tc, after it snowed i noticed the wipers were all weird looking. so without knowing what was wrong i just shoved the ____ out of them and they clicked back in place hahah. i guess people worry more than me. all that went through my head was wtf that looks bad... *shove*.. *click*.. ahh thats better.

 

LMFAO! thats the exact same thing that went through my head 2 weeks ago when they were at the raised position... but i thought i brke something when i heard the "click" and then i was like WTF?!?! did i just break the wipers now??? went inside to flip the wipers on and they worked so i was like "mmmm ok their fine....."
