Old trick for colder weather to avoid them freezing to the windshield, yes, but in a storm? Why would you want that and risk having the wind grab them in the wrong direction snapping them off? Leave them be and just gently pull them out and remove any ice before you drive off.

Thanks you! Ever since I got my car, I've cursed BMW for not allowing the wipers to be lifted (just for simple windshield cleaning). I figured there had to be a way but hadn't figured it out yet. It's still a very, very stupid design, but at least there is a solution.

Thanks man.

Not to hate on OP, but
- this has been covered in so many threads
- the video needs to be 10 seconds rather than 6 minutes to explain the process

I agree with Vitoco. If it's storming, just leave the wipers be. It takes 2 seconds to brush the snow/ice off the wipers anyways.

On a storm or any other conditions the wipers will remain resting on the windshield so they aint going anywhere!
