hi all.strange thing has happened.parked car up and locked it.unlocked got in found wipers at top of the screen and not even turned on.done it twice now,any ideas

 

 

If you hit the wiper arm once the ignition is off they move to the top, it's what you have to do to change the blades.

Sounds like a dealer trip

thank u thought it was a minor glitch.i will try it in the morn

If you are pushing the wiper arm down when you get out after switch off this may be the issue however if you are sure you are not then as gadgetman say it may be worth investigation by the dealer.

 

Look under wipers in your manual, it's called service mode.

Don't worry I do it all the time, if you hit the wiper arm getting out the car it moves to the top and stops,

It goes back when you start the car again :-)

Its called the "service position".....as already explained by others.

Ignition off, push wiper down once and bingo.

While we are on the subject of windscreen wipers would these ones be correct for a Blackline:
