Abstract
Separable wiper lifting park ramps are attached to a vehicle body cowl panel after windshield installation through a cooperating installation track on the cowl panel and track follower on the ramp. A set of ratchet teeth are engaged as the ramp is pushed home toward the windshield surface. When the ramp hits the windshield, it stops, and cannot back out. Therefore, the ramp is always set accurately relative to the windshield, regardless of any variations between the cowl panel and windshield.
