Is there an easier way to lift wiper blades?

Had to replace my wiper blades but couldn’t find the sizes anywhere, turns out it’s 26" for the driver’s side and 18" for the passenger’s. and also, the hood blocks lifting them up. To move them, I will have to turn the car off and hold up on the wiper control arm for 2 seconds.

Anyone know if there’s an easier way to do this?

That wiper positioning is a bit tricky. As far as I know, holding the wiper control for a couple of seconds after turning the car off is the standard method for moving the blades up. Toyota seems to have designed it that way to prevent the wipers from lifting up accidentally while driving. I haven’t found a quicker way myself, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad. On the bright side, at least you don’t have to worry about the blades sticking up and obstructing your view!
