Front wiper blades, checking the correct end position
Every second time the wiper motor is turned off, it returns to a different starting position. The edges of the brushes thus adhere to the glass with the other side.
To do this, the wiper drive passes the starting position when moving the wiper blades downwards and then moves the wiper blades slightly upwards. In this intermediate starting position, the windshield wiper crank cannot be adjusted.
The check should be carried out in the final position in which the windshield wiper motor shaft passes straight and without falling into the final position. If necessary, turn on the windshield wiper again.
Turn the windshield wiper on and off until the blades return to their original position.
Turn off the ignition.
Check the position of the ends of the windshield wipers relative to the water drain box cover on the lower edge of the windshield.
If necessary, adjust the position of the brush leash.

Lifting tailgate:
