Hello, I have not seen any mention of the fact that you cannot lift up the widscreen wipers on the Eos in order to clean the windscreen with them stowed up and out of the way. Seems a pretty silly oversight on VW's part if this is a genuine oversight. Or am I missing something?

If I remember rightly. Switch ignition on 1 click. They move to up right position then thats it.

Something I had a problem with the other week washing it - didn't think of Laura's suggestion! I found that the left hand one comes up nicely under the bonnet when its up, but the right one doesn't - so the windscreen isn't quite as clean as it could have been!

Thanks for that

Yes this seems to be the way to do it thanks for the tip. (Sorry for posting this message twice, btw.)

What you need to do is:

1) switch ignition on then straight off again.
2) push lever down as if flick-wiping.

Wipers will move into the upright position for washing then you can just get out and lift them off the windscreen.

When you've finished switch the ignition on again, flick-wipe again and they'll park. Switch off.

reminds me of trying to do something simple in the Linux operating system like changing my volume output from the computer.. and then realizing its not easy, and wondering why not.

You should try a differet shell and not Bash. Pity Eos wipers are not set up like a Mac OS.
