Wiper positions

Hi, had my near front screen fitted  However when i got it back the bloke said my passenger wiper was positioned wrongly  They've moved it so that its about 2 inches of the screen (from the parallel).When it wipes it now comes over the drivers side of screen alot more than it used to(By 2 inches not surprisingly).My question is surely it should be parallel with the base of the screen shouldn't it? If so is it just a case of removing the cover unbolting the securing bolt and moving the wiper arm down?
Guy.

Yes - Undo the bolt a little way, ease the wiper up off the splines and turn it to where it ought to be then retighten. Obviously you can only set it such that it locates in the fixed positions of the splines.

Cheers, do you agree then that both wipers should be parallel to base of screen, so that both rise to 12 o'clock position on screen? As said the passenger one goes to 1 o'clock position at moment(If that makes sense).

I agree, but watch out that the blades don't slap against the bottom of the screen if there is wear in the bushes of the linkage rods.
