Hi listers,
I used the hibernation time to overhaul the wiper motor,  
cleaning it and changing the 40 year old grease. Now, after 
having put all in place again I have a problem with 
adjusting the parking position
When I turn off the wiper switch, the wiper arms stop in the 
park position on the left side of the windshield.  But when 
I turn the wiper switch on, the wipers do a small turn in 
the wrong direction ( down over the windscreen frame) before 
starting the right stroke.
I've found in the archives, that the round cover on the 
wiper motor could be used to adjust the wiper function. I 
did fix it in the 250 position counterclockwise. But before 
diving under the dashboard and trying to loose the wiper 
motor again to get access to the four screws holding the 
cover I would ask, if this is the right way to fine adjust 
the parking position.

Thanks in advance
Achim
