06 C230_Wipers park in middle of windscreen
My wipers function normally except that rather than parking at the bottom of the screen like normal, they stop right in the middle. Anybody have any suggestions or could point to a video where this is addressed? Thanks!

Welcome. I had a car that did that and what I had to do was take the arm off and place it where I wanted it to go down to when stopped. Never had a problem after that

I had a similar situation due to a broken hood sensor. When the car is detected as stopped the wiper would stop where they were and i had to drive in order for them to continue moving. I ended up unplugging the sensor to solve the iesue

NO LONGER ACTIVE
There are position sensors with the wiper motor itself that go bad. You'll likely need to replace the motor. I do recall one person who disassembled his motor with hopes to fix the sensors, but he found them disintegrated.
