ok, question..... How the heck do I change the wipers if the hood is partially covering them?! I cant lift them fully up. this is the easieast thing to do on all my cars I ever had but yet this is hard as heck on this 1. i feel like an idiot, help!

 

Change them with the hood down. Be careful not to lift the arms to high and scratch the hood. I actually just changed mine today with Bosch Icons.

 

I had the same problem, but finally learned that it is possible to release the old blade and slide it off the arm with the wipers in the down position. The blades have a "secret handshake" to release, but, once you figure it out, it is an easy job. I previously tried to stop the blades in the up position but the park feature thwarted me.
