Default Windshield Wipers!!

I know this is a stupid topic and not very performance oriented, but anyways...My wipers are going half way up a few times and then they will go almost off the windshield because they are wiping too far, and when you turn them off they don't go back to off position, they just stay up. I'm going to pull them off, and clean all of the connectors and hope that I get lucky. Any other ideas?

I upgraded to the new style C4 wipers. I got arms/blades from Jeff Kopp, for I THINK less than $50 if I remember right.

If they are colliding, get the new wiper blades and arms. If it is a different problem, it may be the motors.

I pulled the wiper motor, and cleaned out all of the excess grease and grime inside of the motor, I also sprayed Contact cleaner on the circuit board and on all of the electrical conectors. I put it all back together and it worked. I got lucky, it was a pain though. I think the motor is gonna go out within the next 5000 miles. I still saved myself 100 bucks or so off the price of a new one!! I'll say it was a success
