MG MGB Technical - Wipers park too high.

The windscreen wipers on my '72B park too high on the windscreen. They will make a full sweep but when cut off they park about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the sweep.

I have removed and cleaned and regreased the rack and the wheel boxes. They run much smoother now but still will not park correctly.

Is this adjustable?

I found several articles in the archives but none seemed to address this particular problem. Any thoughts appreciated.

MGB wipers generally go flush to the bottom edge of the screen on one side and stick up at an angle on the other. UK cars always parked in front of the driver, and apart from early cars this also seems to have been the 'flush' side. North America seems to have used different sides at various times, see http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/electricstext2.htm#parking

Thanks for the link Paul. I will study it and see if I can work out the proper parking for my wipers. They seem to work well other than that.
