Default 2005 A6 Wiper Position

Hi I have a 2005 A6.

Last week when it snowed real hard I had a build up that prevent the wipers from retracting fully. I drove for about an hour this way but kept the wipers on.

They now settle about an inch above where they'd normally rest.

How can this be fixed? They are not bent.

Thanks.

Jeff

Have you tried putting them in the "service poosition" in the MMI, then putting them back to normal?
I think it's in the "CAR" section of MMI

Default I think that the A6 also does this. In the q7, when it is cold out, it will

rise up the wipers a little, so that when you're defrosting the window, the wipers will also deice.

Default Wipers could be better

As I posted earlier, Audi needs to redesign the wipers on the A6.

I really hope they pay attention to this forum.

Default

BTW, when they retract, why do we have to see them?
