Default Wipers "park" in vertical position.

1998 WS-6 TA. Wipes function properly but park in a vertical position rather that behind the rear edge of the hood. Anyone else had this problem?

Oh yeah, bummer days man, you need a new wiper motor. There is a stop or something in there that is broken and it will no longer stop at down position. Seems like it should be a simpler fix, so get more advice, but you will find that it's the motor I think. Happened to me on the '97.

its in your wiper assembly the stop just needs to be adjusted but its almost as far ahead to just buy a new one. my brother had the same problem on his monte, and they adjusted it like 4 times and it still does it. so u should just get a new assembly.
