Wiper blade lift system

A system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a window defining an outer surface;
• a wiper system including at least one wiper and a rotating shaft, wherein the wiper oscillates about the rotational shaft to clear the outer surface of the window, wherein the wiper includes:
• an arm having a parked position and defining a proximate end portion and a distal end portion, the arm being pivotable about the proximate end portion of the arm out of the parked position;
• a frame pivotally connected to the distal end portion of the arm, wherein the frame defines a lengthwise distance;
• a blade extending along at least a lengthwise portion of the frame, wherein the blade defines an edge that is configured to contact the outer surface of the window when the arm is in the parked position;
• and
• an actuator operatively connected to the arm, wherein the actuator is configured to exert a force against the arm that is sufficient to urge the arm out of the parked position and away from the outer surface of the window to lift the blade from the outer surface of the window, the actuator comprising a lift element having a first surface and an engagement surface, the first surface being positioned to face the arm and the engagement surface being positioned opposite the first surface, the actuator comprising a pivot arm having a first end and a second end, the first end being operatively connected to a cable and the second end being operatively connected to a spring-loaded stopper, the spring-loaded stopper being biased against the pivot arm such that when a force is exerted on the first end by the cable, the pivot arm rotates about a pivot point biasing the stopper into engagement with the engagement surface to move the lift element and urge the arm out of the parked position and lift the blade from the outer surface of the window.
