Default Windshield wiper problem

My 2000 corvette windshield wiper won't turn off in the proper position.
And even in the off location they turn on.
Anyone know how to fix this problem ?

I have the same problem in my 03 vette. They stop halfway down and then I have to get out of the car to push them the rest of the way down. Would love to know how to fix that.

I just did my udders. If you don't mine scraping your knuckles you can pull them out and replace them without removing the cowling.

This thread fixed wipers parking in the wrong spot...without replacing the motor.

Can be done without removing the arms and the just lifting the cowling, but it makes rotating the cam more difficult.

The tab circled in yellow on the lower moving plate, has to stop at the tab circled in red. It doesn’t reverse properly if they the tab doesn’t stop the lower plate. My tad didn’t look bent out of position, but I bent it forward and put it back together, and it solved the problem.
