Anyone had to adjust the Park of their wipers. Someone has used my wipers when they were frozen to the screen causing them to jump a sprocket and are now parked a few inches up the windscreen and wipe off the side of the screen when in use.

How difficult is this to rectify? It's easy on my mini you just pull off the arms and refit.

i would say do the same. Take the arms off, sweep the wipers once and then refit the arms.

:yeahthat: Just hope it hasn't stripped the splines...

It seems the Stilo is quite unlike any car I've owned before. It seems the mechanisms in the wiper arm are designed to slip when under excess weight.

Solution is to switched wipers on, cut engine when blade at longest point of sweep. Get out car and push the arm to the desired final location. The slide back under very little pressure, almost like the mechanism is designed to slip and protect splines.

So both my wipers are now sorted. One was sweeping off screen and other was thumping plastic tray under windscreen on park. 2 mins adjusting and they sweep perfectly again.

I'd have to say I've seen no evidence of that when removing the scuttle cover on mine.

You may find they need to be tightened to avoid future spline wear.

Wiper blades should always be freed from the windscreen in icy conditions before even getting in the car.

I have had this exact same problem and my wipers stopped bolt upright! Had to remove the motor and take casing apart to find that the wiper park sensor had basically turned itself around a bit.
If you undo the nut on the back you can separate the splines to turn it to the desired location.

This solved the problem until two weeks later it did it again!

All the splines are fine so I don't understand how this is happening.
Anyone have any other solutions at all??
