You need to put the wiper blades into service mode to accomplish this.
Here are the steps:
1.) press the engine start button until it illuminates with the word "OFF"
2.) immediately turn your windshield wiper switch backwards. This will raise your wipers up one position. Continue to flip the switch until you reach the desired position.
3.) press the engine start button to ACC or RUN to lower the wiper to it's resting position.
Hopefully this will save everyone a paint job or from bending your wiper arms. Keep this in mind when gas station attendants wash your windows.
Perhaps MODS can sticky this post.
