windshield wiper woes

My Dodge Caravans would bring the wiper blades to the rest position even when I turned-off the car in mid-wipe. I wish the Fit did that too. My wipers never seem to be in the rest position when I hop in the car. It is not much of a problem until the next ice or snow storm.

I don't see how that amounts to "woe." In most cars, it's best to shut the wipers off and allow them to park before turning the ignition switch off. Fit is like most cars.

Agreed with Buck on this one. My windshield wiper woe is that the wiper arm for the right wiper blade (the small one) vibrates like crazy when the car is idling. Something that could potentially lead to problems.....

that vibration has been observed on the GE's as well. i've not had any problems with it, not to say that the ugly vibration is okay..
