We are, of course, talking about the position you put your windshield wipers in when you park your vehicle before or during a storm.

Long story short, according to the experts, it doesn’t matter how you position your windshield wiper blades during a winter storm. Why windshield wiper position doesn’t really matterThough you might expect car professionals—in this case, engineers that design and test wiper blades—to have strong opinions on the subject, the ones The Drive spoke with at Bentley did not. In other words, your car’s windshield wipers should be able to handle almost anything that could happen to them when your car is parked outside in winter weather—regardless of their position.
