Well the snow will be here before long so I'll be testing this feature also.

One of the things I hated about the design of the wipers in the e83 is the fact you can't leave them off the windshield because the arms hit the hood.

For all those lucky enough not to have to deal with snow, what usually happens is when you're driving around and park the car, the heat from the engine will melt the snow which will slide down the windshield and form a solid chunk of ice right where the wipers rest. Ice pick is a mandatory tool to have in the car if you're an e83 driver.
