My windshield wiper transmission broke and had to replace it. After getting it all put back together, when I turn them on it goes up like normal but when it goes down it goes past the home station and hits the plastic cover at bottom of windshield. I’m having to move them up for them to be able to not hit the bottom. Is there a way to fix this?

Good morning,

I would remove the arms from the transmission. Then cycle the motor on and off. Then install the arms as I posted.
