C280 wiper doesn't park properly

The single wiper on my '94 C280 works fine until it comes to parking; it won't go all the way down. It does go down all the way when wiping but not at park... I should also point out that the wiper blade that I bought from Lordco (in Canada) is a bit long and won't completely fit within the windshield -maybe 1 cm longer than what it should be (even the previous one that came with the car when bought it nearly a year ago was also the same length). I don't know if this parking issue has anything to do with the length of the blade but thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, I appreciate your advise.

I would start by doing this if it hasn't been done in a while:

Then you can resort to this:

Thanks although I don't think it's from lubrication. The wiper works quite smoothly; it just doesn't park at the proper place.

I did go to the 2nd link when you posted it initially but I thought it's about adjusting the wiper to vertical position. I didn't think it'd explain the process to readjust the parking position!

Thanks. I'll try to try it...
