DTM Wiper DIY

Anyone here have a link to or walk through of how to set the wiper on a W124 to the DTM position at rest?

I searched and the only thing i found was how to do it on a 201/202 C class, not sure if it is any different for a W124

I am not necessarily planning on doing this to my car but i would like to know what it takes to do it in case i do decide to try it out, i think it looks cool on Coupes

I saw a 92 500E for sale that was said to have a Switch to toggle the DTM position of the wiper blade, anyone heard of this?

Tanks in advance

Um, turn on your wiper, then when it gets in the middle, pull your key out. That'll be 50 bucks.

I think it's kinda cool, and it would help up here in ROC from getting frozen under like, 4in of ice that wells up where the wiper rests. Vertical like that would be MUCH easier to get free...
