Lifting the Front Wiper Arms

Most newer Honda models have windscreen wipers that park below the bonnet line. Whilst this is more aerodynamic and saves fuel, it makes it impossible to lift the wipers away from the windscreen without damaging either the bonnet or the wipers themselves.

This is why newer Honda models have a clever feature to allow you to raise the windscreen wipers away from the glass when the car is switched off.

This feature is especially useful in cold or icy weather, as it helps prevent the wipers from freezing to the windscreen and reduces the risk of damaging the blades or wiper mechanism.
