Wipers when they’re in the Park position

[Vomamansr]

I need help from my fellow Maverick owners. The question is on the wiper blades when they’re in the Park position does the passenger side wiper disappear completely or does it stick up a little bit? Mine appears to stick up. I feel that it should go down further. what’s everybody thought on that?

Mines sticks up slightly, too, like in the pic. I assume that's normal.

Just checked my Lariat and appears to be about a quarter inch lower than yours. I think that is likely margin-of-error stuff.

Can't go down too much more; it'll be hitting that rubber thing in the corner.

Oh, and mine looks just like that too.

The tips of my wipers are over the dots in the glass.
They're harder to see depending on the light.

That's about where mine is too.

I agree with Commadorebob. If you look at the windshield there is a small line mark in the glass to show the approximate spot the wiper should be in park position.

Mine park like that too. There's plenty room to have designed them to park below the hood line. I've accepted it.

I feel like they should park in a more "parked/lower" position but I've studied many of them as I come across and it seems like they are all like this. Mine included

one can always replace a wiper blade with a shorter one, not that it would solve much.

Might not have been aligned correctly at the factory? You can adjust it by removing the arm and setting it lower. I had to adjust mine after having my windshield replaced, takes about a minute.

If it bothers you, you can pull the wiper arm off the post,turn it a bit counter clockwise and reinstall.

As a person who lives in an area that can get alot of snow, and have had vehicles with wipers that retract alot lower when turned off, I think I'm ok with where these park.

I've had the others not be able to retract fully, or even close to where they were supposed to be because of snow packed in that void, and I've always worried that it wasn't good for them to be that way.

I wondered, "Is the motor still trying to retract them?" "Are the arms getting tweaked from the stress of not retracting fully" "Is the wipers linkage getting damaged?"

To my knowledge, this is normal

Why would you feel that your truck would be different than all the other trucks that have been sold in the last three years? You're entitled to think there is a better way of doing things, but why would you think FORD would single you out to do your wipers wrong?
