Windshield question - why return to lowest position when turned off?

[MRH]

I have a guess on that. Motors and other parts that don't get much or any use can fail over time, and I think that this particular motor may fall right in that category. By running it automatically, it may keep it from failing for that reason.

Ironically, being that I mostly keep it all the way down, this will be of only minimal help to me (although I ride it enough that I'm not worried).

I could be totally wrong about the engineering here, so responses are invited.

the new one don't have to be reset. they go back to as last used. Still seems senseless to me. I prefer it to stay where last used all the time.
