Strange one this.
Obviously it rarely rains here in sunny Zummerzet. However yesterday I had to go to dreary Oxford. On the way through Wiltshire it was (of course) drizzling, so wipers on. I noticed after a few minutes that the driver-side wiper arm was going too far over and was almost dropping off the side of the windscreen. I stopped, popped off the plastic cap, and made sure the nut was fully tight. A quick check, and sure enough the arm stopped it's sweep in the correct position (a snifter past vertical).
Set off again, and noticed that the arm doesn't seem to go to the same place every time. Mostly it's the correct place, but about 1 in 10 sweeps it goes over too far.
Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped. Can't see how it can be the motor/rotating arm end at fault. The parking position looks Ok too.
Cheers

Check the ball joints on the wiper linkage.
And pull the wiper arm off its spindle because either or both could be badly worn.
