Raising the wipers to the service position:
Changing the windshield wiper rest position/Lifting the windshield wipers...
Within approximately 45 seconds of turning the engine switch off, move the wiper lever to the *1 or *2 position and hold it for approximately 2 seconds or more. The wipers will move to the service position.
*1: For U.S.A.
*2: For Canada
My Jetta Sportwagen had wiper arms just like this, with the same hoodline interference. Same solution too. Piece of cake.
The transmission behavior is worrying, though. The outgoing 6 speed was a nice responsive unit with generally smooth behavior. Ruining that to keep up with the Jones's gear count would be a shame. And it should have heated seats even if it's hilarious hearing this omission noted by SoCal residents.
