Default wipers don't go all the way down

99ex the wipers work fine they just don't wipe as far over as they should. i adjusted the drivers side so it would wipe over as far as it should, but when it is off, it sits about 4-5 inches up the windshield. bad motor maybe.

Sometimes the linkage that attaches to the wiper motor can skip a few teeth. If you notice that it is happening to both wiper blades and they are going to far and then not returning to the bottom position that is were I would look.
