I’m so mad at myself for doing this but today I was washing my Taos and went to pull up the windshield wipers like I’ve done on every other car I’ve owned and it took a big gash out of the inside edge of the hood. Anyways just be careful on the driver side because it only lifts a little bit before it hits the inside edge of the hood.

Ouch, at least it's fairly hidden and a little touch-up paint will work wonders. I had to scream at some folks a few years back when I returned to my car to find them trying to lift the wiper to put a flyer under it.
Don't forget the wiper "service position" - ignition on, ignition off, then wiper stalk down (for single wipe) and they will move to where you can lift them safely.

Yep, just looked that up on YouTube. Guess I had to learn the hard way. Was going to order some touch paint anyways…

Congrats on owning your first VW

Same as the "Idiot Mark" you get when owning your first 1911
