Default windshield wipers

I was at the store today another GS was parked beside mine and I notice that my windshield wiper were down in my hood and his were on the glass like normal. I checked to see if mine worked they did but is that normal or is that some trick lexus does for certain cars?

Rominl, is there any way to adjust wiper blades back to lower position cuz thats what happend to me recently during heavy snow, my wiper blades are much higher than before. Is there something i can do, so don't have to reinstall'em by taking them off and putting them back?
I admit, haven't use search and don't have manual. Would you answer my question please

the wiper arm is actually moved back into place by hand. be sure to push down on the solid piece of the wiper arm, not the end of the wiper. you'll have to give it a little bit of elbow grease but they will go down. if you push down on the drivers side arm both will go down.

Just push down on them with approx 50lbs of force.

LOL. Funny. Corny, but funny. I liked your last line. I use it all the time. I sometimes add "Don't forget to tip your waitresses."
