Windshield wiper "parking"
 

The windshield wipers on my 1972 Blazer park successfully when turned off.

But they park at the very top of the travel instead of the bottom.

I did some searching, and I'm hoping it is as easy a fix as it looks to be....

I found this thread, talking about wipers:

And the second post says:

I'm hoping all I have to do is pull the cowl and swap around the linkage.

Basically move the arm on the motor over to where the blue is drawn in:

Would be nice if it was this easy. Have looked under the dash and it does not look like it would be fun to have to pull the motor.

Should this fix it?

I had this same problem on my 65 Impala. If you have the correct linkage arm on the motor, I think you should be able to just flip it 180 degrees.

I did find that in my searches. Very helpful, but everything works on my wipers.

And they park, just at the top, not at the bottom.

If I shut the wipers off when the are at the bottom of the travel, the will go all the way to the top and park.

If I remember correctly the motor will always park at the same spot, so if the arm can be swung, that should fix it. Should. :)

Can you pull wipers blades off, turn on wipers button and then shut off wiper button, then re-install wiper blades. Should help.

Won't work, the pivots will still be stopping in the UP position, if you put the arms on in the down position, the arms will try to go down into the hood! Won't be a pretty sight.

Swapping the arm 180 degrees fixed it.
