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.
