After a ice storm the other day I thought I broke lose the ice from the wipers but the drivers side did not break lose ,the passanger side did . I then got out and broke the ice from the wiper and it worked but it is out of synce. The wiper stops in the middle and goes way off of the window. Is there a way to fix this? The passner side works find.

Sure. The wiper(s) sweep can be adjusted by pulling the arm out off the splines where it connects at the base and repositioning it so it will sweep correctly without over-lapping off the windshield or bumping each other. When the motor is stopped, if one of the blades is in the correct OFF postion, remove the one that is not lined up and line it up with the other. Do not push the wiper arm completely back into the splines until you have turned the wipers ON and ensure both operate okay. Then you can complete the re-installation by pushing the arm all the way into the splines.
