Ok so my drivers side wiper extends past the windshield pillar. The wipers also DO NOT go all the way to the resting position. Is there something specific I should adjust or just start taking things apart and making "adjustments" until they work correctly?

 

I believe the wiper arms are on splined shafts, sounds like you are off a few splines.

 

The wiper motor shaft should have a mark on it for realignment.
