Getting wipers to rest pointing up...

I read in my manual the process to get the wipers to stop in the 'up' position so I can fold the arms up without hitting the hood to swap blades.
Manual says.... ignition off, hold stalk in the full up position.
Mine dont seem to do that. Anything I'm doing wrong ??? Fill me in !
Thanks .....

I found switching the ignition on, waiting a few seconds then switching it off prior to lifting the lever usually helps.

Got them to work

Thanks rc, that was how it worked. Right after I shut off ignition I held the stalk up and they went to position.

Idk if it works for all F25 X3's, but if the car is off, you can manually move the wipers up as well and move them back for this.
