Windshield wipers parking in middle of windshield WTH?! Options

[ClayPerrine]

The arm that drives the wipers is installed in the wrong position on the wiper motor.

1. Take the arm off the wiper motor shaft.

2. Turn the wipers on and then off so the motor goes to the park position.

3. Position the arm so that the wipers are in the correct park position on the windshield.

Thank you @ClayPerrine .

This process worked like a charm. Took a few attempts at getting the arm positioned correctly on the motor shaft. Had to reinstall, remove, and adjust a few times. But I eventually got it perfect. A few hours later, the replacement motor and assembly is in the car and working beautifully. Now on to the Fresh Air Box rebuild and reinstall.

You're welcome.

Now follow step #4. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Would love to. Maybe after the fresh air box is done I'll reward myself : )

Last question ...

Before I attempt to re-install the fresh air box, should I lube each of the joints on the replacement wiper assembly and motor? And if so, what lube specifically should I use (a link would be great)?

As I understand it, the old style grease attracts dirt, which will be counter productive and cause wear. Is there a proven new product that is dry, but keeps things lubed to reduce friction?

Maybe something like this?
