Change front wipers' automatic stop position
Got my wiper switch rebuilt and is now working on all speeds which is very exciting. But I've found another issue now which is that the wipers seem to have their automatic stop position about 1/2-3/4" too low. So at their lowest position one wiper blade is trying to sneak under the other wiper arm. Have spotted the wiper motor, but what's the best way to adjust the automatic stop position for them?

Too old for this
I wish my wipers would park. They work on all settings, the timer on the int even works, but they stop wherever they are when I shut them off. I tried replacing the motor to no avail. I guess it is something inside the switch. How hard was it to rebuild?

Failure to park is one of the usual symptoms of a failing wiper switch. Mine had that problem before I replaced the faulty relay.
Here's a good tutorial on fixing the switch yourself. The search function should turn up some others:

As for level of difficulty, guys who are highly skilled at soldering say it's a piece of cake. I'm sort of a beginner at soldering and I fixed mine myself, but not without some problems and having to jumper the board in the switch after I messed it up by overheating one of the relay pins. Here's my old thread on my wiper rebuilding experience if you're interested:

There are also some guys on the board who rebuild switches for a small fee. I know Pele is one of them.
