Wanted to state this issue for the archives.
After installing my rebuilt wiper motor and all the wiring below it, to my horror, I discovered the wipers wiped downward across my bodywork instead of across the windshield.
I found out the hard way the park position is adjustable by rotating the little "cup" on top of the motor. Mine was in the wrong position either by me or the guy who rebuilt it.
Fortunately, it was possible to loosen the 1/4" hex screw on the corner to the left of the sharpie mark as well as the two on the pointed end of the motor to the right. The one in the back is not accessible. Then by wedging a small screwdriver between the long cover and motor body, the cup was freed enough to be able to rotate with the fingers until the correct park position was established, then marked with a sharpie, before tightening the screws.
Suggest indexing the cup position to the top cover or side - permanently with a scribe, before sending out for rebuilding.
PS - If you have yours rebuilt, be sure to bench test it before re-installing. The guy who did mine didn't do so, and the brush carrier had slipped off to one side as the end cap was installed. It was DOA. Youtube saved me on that one, as the supplier was out of town and I couldn't hassle him about it.
