wiper motor problem

My windshield wipers will move all the way across my windshield when on intermittent but when they stop they come to rest in the middle of the windshield (right in my line of sight) any ideas on what could be causing this? the motor works fine and moves them with no problem it just seems to be maybe timed wrong or has possibly slipped?

The link is excellent but you might find the metal disc inside the motor is beyond repair. Both my E30's needed replacement motors - easy to buy through the zone - due to excessive corrosion. I think it must get scored by the contacts.

If they always stop in the middle of the windscreen, and exactly the same place on all modes then I'd suggest your linkage has slipped on the motor. If they stop in the normal position on continuous then I'd go for cleaning your contact disc.

So what would be involved if the linkage has slipped? can it be readjusted or will parts need to be replaced?
