wiper blade travel adjust?
My front driver side wiper every so often gets into a phase where it will go too far and smack against the metal windshield frame. Is there an adjustment on wiper travel?

At the bottom of the wiper arm is a small black cap. Pry off that cap and you'll see a nut. Remove that nut, remove the arm, and re-install the arm to whatever position you like. After you move it, tighten the nut and run your wipers once or twice to check for proper positioning. Don't tighten the nut too much though...it's designed to loosen on it's own if the wiper encounters too much resistance from snow, saving your motor from burning out.

Even properly adjusted wipers do this sometimes. Mine do this too occasionally and when I shut them off they rest on the rubber bumpers. I'm to lazy to look into why this is happening.
