Hi, do they allways stop in the same position ? if so you should be able to repoistion the arms on the spindles. If they are stopping in random positions then I would assume the park postion is broken inside the wiper motor.

Don't move them individually on the spindles! Between the motor & the mechanism is an arm that converts the rotary motion of the motor to a back & forth action for the wipers. The M8 nut that hold this has come loose, possibly if wipers have been frozen to the screen when turned on  ::)
Remove the whole set up and you see 2 marks >    < on the casting somewhere, the arm is supposed to sit bewteen them whne at the parked position.
