Dave, you put the wipers into park/service mode by flipping wiper switch up twice v quickly.

To put the wipers in park, turn on ignition and press the wiper stalk up twice *very* quickly and the wipers will stop about half way up the window. The reason why they are so low is for looks, but in addition they aid pedestrian safety if you were to plough into one.

Driver side wiper catches bonnet, if lifted:I did go to my dealer when I first discovered and they said they knew nothing of a problem; on way across their car park, I checked some other new QQ models; all were same.Cure they gave me, was that I need to lift bonnet each time.Think not

Just replaced my windscreen wipers with Bosch ones. What a difference they make! The original ones have been terrible right from buying the car.
Dont get them from Halfords...they want £37 for the two front ones.
Eurocarparts only want you to part with £19.
