Take them off and put them where they go in the right place

Exactly what he said.

Turn the wipers off so they go the 'Park' position (all the way down). Then take off the wiper arms and re-install so that the wiper arms just hit the stops at the fully parked position.

Well, if that's the case, it could also be an intermittant problem with the 'PARK' switch on the wiper motor. This is the switch that tells the motor when and where to stop once you turn off the wipers.
