2008 Aspen wiper stop problem
 

I have a 2008 Aspen also and the wipers are stopping about 4 inches up from the bottom of the windshield. They are not stopping at the bottom where they are supposed to. Is there a way to reset it or do I need to remove the bolt to the motor and manually change the stopping point?

When I turn the car on, it senses they are in the wrong spot and ghost wipes to try to reset them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

If I push them back down with my hand, they stay put until the next time I use them.

I'm not sure if there's a way to reset the resting position, but here's a TSB related to the 2008 that may be helpful:
