Has anyone tried to/had to adjust a wiper motor? My port wiper motor is sticking. Any suggestions?

I don't believe there is any adjustment that can be done. If it's the port wiper, it's possible the wiper has gotten stuck on the the open walk through windshield. That's what happened to mine, after that the wiper would stop at that spot, if you tapped it with your hand it would continue its sweep.
I simply replaced the motor - look up the part number on the Fourwinns part site and start your internet search. I saw a wide variety of prices, some as high as $250, I ended up getting one on eBay for $60.

I have had to replace my port wiper motor twice because of my kids turning it on inadvertently when the walk through windshield was open (it gets stuck and strips the gears or something). I won't be replacing it again until they get older (along with the trashed cockpit vinyl, trashed salon couch and everything else they have trashed).
