My wipers always pop back up from the park position by about 3-4inches when they're switched off. I've just followed the wiper Wiki guide, taken out the motor, cleaned it all up & re-greased it. Just tried the wipers again and they're doing exactly the same thing. They work fine on all settings, but I hate my wipers always sitting at a funny angle when they're switched off - any ideas/help/recommendations gratefully accepted!
Thanks

undo the nut on the shaft of the windscreen motor and rotate the arm so that the wipers park at the bottom of the screen... or.
remove each wiper arm from the spindle and reposition at the bottom of the screen.

Done that. They then sweep below the screen onto the black windscreen surround and back up to what I would like as the park position. This will not only knacker the wiper blades and possibly wiper arms quickly, but also makes a really annoying noise as it hits when the wipers are on constantly.
Any other suggestions?

taking the arm of the motor pressing your wiper stalk will set it in right position then set wiper blaedcs to correct position then refit the arm if it still judders thats when i removed mine and sourced a new one have spare which is now getting checked
