Wiper park position

2015 F250 and I'd like to have the wipers stop a little higher on the windshield to help with the ice build up. Previous trucks I could pop the wipers off and rotate them and put back on. These are keyed so I can't. Anyone have a trick?

Put a long plastic bag over each wiper, when temps are in the freezing range.

Lift the wipers OFF the glass when you expect snow. Use your ice scaper to clear the snow, THEN put the wipers back down.
OR did you mean while driving??

Is the park position adjustable?

If you move the arms up a notch, would they hit above and off the windshield?

There's a keyway type of thing there that won't let me. On my last truck I could just put it on where I wanted. And it did help with ice build up while plowing or just driving. Now they stop below the cash so the defroster doesn't have a chance.
