OK - went out to wash the windshield - pretty basic, huh? I realized that, unlike my 328i and M3, the windshield wipers only lift about an inch before they hit some sort of stop. I did RTM - no mention of it. =>So how do I wash the windshield area under the wiper blades if I can't lift the wipers.

TIA - still a 5-series newbie.

Rgds,
Norm


Well I am going by my 97 model - but I am almost sure they have not changed.

Yes, they have a spot where they seem to resist when you lift them off the window - pull past that point and you will hear a click. They then hold at that point till you push them down again. Do not open the hood with them in the fold out position.

I am sure I will hear from you if there has been a change.

Cheers
Jim cash
