Default Winsheild Wiper Adjustment

Hey guys, need your input on this one.

We'll , I need to adjust my Wiper motor, not sure if its possible, but I thought i'd ask anyways.

At max power, the wipers hit the plastic on the bottom of the winshield. At the same time, its not going as far 9 o'clock like it used too.

Any scews I can adjust? thanks guys.

When the wiper arms are lifted from the glass, do they seem to have excessive twist play.

Meaning, does it feel as if the plastic bushings built into the drive arm's ends are worn,cracked or broken. One arm compared to the other, should have much more twisting play in it if a bushing was missing or damaged.

You can loosen the 14 mm nut that hold the wiper arm and reposition it. On the driver side on the LS there's a combination of nut and screw that you have to loose to move the wiper arm.

No excessive play here. Just seem out of alignment.
