Abstract
A windshield wiper arm of the motor vehicle is provided with a device including a first power interruption switch, a second power interruption switch, a relay, a motor, a gear set, a push red, and a protruded rod. When the push rod is driven to move in a vertical direction, the windshield wiper arm is pushed to move away from the windshield of the motor vehicle which is not in operation. As the motor vehicle is activated, the push rod is driven to return to a horizontal position thereof, thereby causing the windshield wiper arm to be retracted in place.
