a seller Honda It caught the attention of Internet users after owners reported repeated problems with their vehicle’s wipers.
Mattwho describes himself as a “Honda expert,” posted a video on his TikTok profile explaining what happens when you simply lift the wipers on a Honda vehicle.
“bird Civicor other Honda Do not scratch the hood of your vehicle while trying to lift the wipers. If you’re not careful when you grab it, you’ll land right there. That scratches the back end,” Matt explained.
Motor 1According to the latest Honda When your model’s wipers are lifted from their default position, they bend backwards to touch the bonnet and then fully up. Repeating this frequently can cause visible scratches on the car body.
So Matt proposed a solution: maintenance mode. “Turn off the car. Hold the wiper handle.” He explained, pointing to the wiper control lever on the steering column. “We are now in maintenance mode.”
When maintenance mode is activated, the wipers move to the service position away from the bottom of the windshield. In this state, it can be safely lifted without touching the bonnet.
In the comments section, one user called it a “horrible design flaw,” but Matt explained there was a reason behind it. “Wipers reduce the amount of time that cleaning fluid temporarily blocks your view, which makes driving safer,” he emphasized.
