BMW 220i Active Tourer - BMW 2 series active tourer - rear wiper blade - mcros

The rear wiper parks under the roof spoiler. Can anyone tell me how to get it to park vertically so I can simply replace the wiper blade ?

I have found BMW instructions online on how to park the FRONT wipers vertically, but nothing that explains how to park the REAR wiper. The blade is completely inaccessible when parked normally.

Thanks

Solved it myself. Follow the instructions for parking the front wipers and the rear wiper magically deploys and parks vertically at the same time, even though the rear wiper control hasn't been activated. Neither the manual nor the BMW video make this clear.......!
