How can I adjust the position my windscreen wipers park in my Vauxhall Omeg?

My windscreen wipers now park half way up the windscreen. Is it possible to adjust them so they park in the usual place? My car is a Vauxhall Omega 2000 2.5CDX

Possibly the self-parking switch is faulty or worn and is allowing the wipers to park in a different position. Also, the motor could be loose. Try gently moving one or other wiper arms up and down in the direction of travel, they should normally only move a small amount; 1-2" at the blade. If there's appreciable movement, something's worn or loose somewhere.
