Bad design = easily scraping the hood by doing something simple that shouldn't be difficult (btw the majority of people pull wipers up and aren't even aware of "the instructions")
Good design = locking the wipers from being pulled up when not engaged in 'standby mode' |
I guess everyone is different so you can't design for the 100%. For me the first time I washed my windshield I tried to lift the wipers like I've done on all my previous cars. When I could only lift it an inch or so I thought to myself "this can't be right" so off to the manual I went.
Different does not equal bad.
If you lock it in place... On top of adding more complexity, I'm sure someone would be posting on how they broke their wiper arm because it was "stuck" and they were trying to lift it.
