Rear window wiper

My rear winshield wiper does not park itself at the bottom of the window near the rear trunk lip. It rests about six inches up. The switch under the steering wheel for the winter wiper position is in the summer position. Can this be fixed or do the need to replace the entire wiper motor? Thanks for all of your help.

I met a person several weeks ago with the same problem. The rear wiper is easy to fix. Lift up the cap on the arm over the shaft and remove the nut. Pull the wiper arm off and reposition. That will do it. The under dash wiper switch does not work the rear one.

Nice. every now and then mine goes back too far. Didn't think the fix was that easy.
