A wiper system for clearing an outer surface of a window is disclosed and includes an arm, a frame, a blade, and an actuator operatively connected to the arm. The arm includes a parked position and defines a proximate end portion and a distal end portion. The arm is pivotable about the proximate end portion of the arm out of the parked position. The frame is pivotally connected to the distal end portion of the arm. The frame defines a lengthwise distance. The blade extends along at least a lengthwise portion of the frame. The blade defines an edge that is configured to contact the outer surface of the window when the arm is in the parked position. 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.

A floor-mounted console assembly includes a stationary floor bracket having a longitudinal first support bar and a longitudinal second support bar positioned parallel to the first support bar. The console assembly further includes a cradle having a first connector wing and a second connector wing. The first connector wing is slidably received over the first support bar and the second connector wing is slidably received over the second support bar. The console assembly further includes a console connected to the cradle and supported by the first connector wing and the second connector wing such that the console is vertically spaced above the first support bar and the second support bar. The console and the cradle are configured to translate along the first support bar and the second support bar.

One general aspect includes an airbag module, including: a housing. The airbag module also includes a cushion disposed within the housing. The airbag module also includes a chute having a first side and a second side with a seam centrally formed therebetween, where each of the first and second sides include a plurality of fingers which operatively cooperate to define a track configured to slidably attach the housing to the chute such that the chute sufficiently encloses the cushion within the housing, and where the chute is configured to open during deployment of the cushion.
