They do. They just didn't put them on our trucks..

Here's a solution:

They used to fold up, but when you did it also rubbed the paint off the edge of the hood!

My 02' wipers fold up. No paint rubbing off on mine.

I've got a pair of the ground-off nub wiper arms if anybody is interested, PM me. It's a really easy mod.

GM was too busy focusing on other items they could remove and save $$$, so they didn't have much time to put a lot of thought into the wipers :)

I think they made them that way because they hit the hood on the 03-up chevrolets if you open it when they are folded up.

They piss me off....I had to bend up a wiper blade to get it off on the passenger side when I put my snow blades on....What a joke...

My apologies to Diesel Day Dreamin'. He started the thread about fixing this little problem. He, BlueOx and CrazyDaze did this mod and made it easy.

I thought my ears were burning... :D I see I'm not the only one ticked about this! :mad: But as you said Tom, all is well now after this $40. mod. :cool:
