Default How Do You Stand up The Wiper Blades

Hi All,

I went to clean my 2010 SC 430 front windshield and realized there was no clearance to move the wipers off the windshield so I could clean the whole windshield. My 2015 ES350 has a ratchet linkage that allows me to force them "up" one click then move them off the glass. Does the SC430 have this feature? Please advise. Thanks.

I have tried everything. Hood up, hood down, all you seem to be able to do is get them up ara enough to change the blade.

I think that you can turn the wipers on, allow them to go part way up and turn the key off so that they will remain partially up. Then lift them up. (Disclaimer, I haven't tried this to see if that will allow them to stand up though.)

Other than that, you are correct, there isn't enough room under the hood edge to lift them up.

That still only allows a few inches of lift. That is how I change the blades.
