Default 05 Wiper Park Position

Is this the normal position the wipers should be in when parked? I would think they should be at least partly under the hood.

OK, so I just looked it up in the owner's manual, The position they are in now is the rest position.'
To get them to go down into the retracted position I just pushed them by holding passenger side wiper blade where it meets the arm. I took more force than I was willing to use the 1st time I tried it.

That position is the winter position. In the summer position, the wipers are hidden underneath the hood.

I noticed in picture 2 that your dash has rolled up by the pass airbag. Mine has done the same thing. Is their a way to fix that? do they make replacement dash tops? Thanks.

I don't know about fixing the dash area. I just bought the car in Oct. 2012, so it isn't bothering me enough to worry about fixing it.
