    So im having some problems.. My windsheild wipers stop in the middle of my windsheild.. If I take the arm of and correct it by puting down at the bottom of the windsheild then turn them on my wiper runs down my hood and then part way up my winsheild.. Is there a way to clock it or do something so the ending point will be at the bottom of the cycle and not in the middle?

    maybe the grooves on your windshield wiper mounts are ground down? so they are slipping in the wiper arms?

    either the motor gears are stripped or the wiper mounts are stripped. Are both arms doing it exactly the same or is one acting OK? (if one's OK, it's the mount. if they're both whacked out, it's the gears and you need a new wiper motor assembly)

    If you need any wiper motor parts I will be more than happy to give you mine. I don't know where you are located , but all my stuff is coming out anyway providing you pay shipping. All my stuff is in great working order. Just an option...

    Okay. Just done swapping wiper motor and seems like motor is not bad on mine. I got a new wiper relay arm install and just need to adjust it right.
