Arms moved on the motor. Allow the wipers to park on their own. Them remove scuttle(can be done without with practice) and undo the 10mill nut on the motor. Reposition the arms to where you think,(iirc the drivers side should be horizontal but make sure the pas side is above, doesnt wack, the wing) them do the 10mill nut back up. Test. Adjust. Re fit scuttle when your happy. Hth

If you remove the scuttle (plastic bit from under the screen) and then remove the whoe wiper assembly (4 hex headed self tappers) you'll be able to see where the arm connected to the motor should sit. It should sit  > arm< ... you'll see when it's off the car. Slacken the 13 mm nut, liftthe arm off the taper & re-position it in its correct position.

moral of the story ..... clear snow off your screenby hand instead of with your wipers!  ;)  ;)  :y
