Default Right windshield wiper doesn't seam to park?

Do you know what I am talking about? The right wiper doesn't seam to go all the way down when I am not using it. Isn't it supposed to go all the way down?

Anyone else experience that?

Thanks

i guess it is the way rain sensors work. as if it is keeping the wiper on alert for a faster response.
when you turn off the engine, it goes all the way down...

It's fine. They'll position themselves differently every two times or so you shut off the car, to keep the rubber 'exercised' and working properly. The left one is more out-of-sight than the right one, so you think the right one is the only one moving, but they both are. It's a feature, not a bug. Shockingly, it's in the owner's manual.....

Default hey thanks! been bugging me for a while

it was driving me nuts and I kept meaning to ask when I was in for service but I forgot.

I have kind of forgotten about it really but it was driving me crazy for a while.

seems like it could just go down about another inche out of sight.

I will leave well enough alone if it's supposed to be a feature.

Those clever Germans!! always a reason for these things.
