Glad you got it fixed.

I guess my problem is a little different. My driver's arm will park itself up too high, while the passenger's arm is fine. So I get to choose ... either the driver's arm drops too low and them parks right, or drops to a good location but then parks 2 inches up from there, ie too high. No matter what I do, it seems the driver's wiper will jump by 2 inches. I want it not to jump back after wiping, or jump back by a smaller distance. Been living with it for years. I have a spare mechanism I'm considering installing, but as I said I already have a new one in there. I do think I used the old motor .... can't remember.

Sounds like a linkage adjustment issue at the end of the arm where the pivot point is for the short extension piece to the wiper spline. Check to see if when in park, both sides look the same in terms of location.

Mine does this (parks in weird spots), but only on a 'mist wipe'. I pull back on the wand for a single pass, and it stops unless I hold the wand back and carefully park the wiper in the bottom most position. This started when I put in the VW relay with the fancy delay, but didn't notice it until after I tossed the original relay out. I don't know if it has anything to do with it though. But it didn't do it with the original relay.

Mine parks perfectly in all modes with the VW relay... not sure why it would be different between mist & normal - parking uses the same mechanism for both (maybe try a new relay? or even an old relay again...)

One thing to be aware of here is how the electrics usually work here - I say usually becuase I havent actually checked a 928 in this area. Self parking wipers operate in one of two ways in my experience - the switching makes earth , with the motor permanently hot at +12V, and the self park keeps earth connected until park is reached, OR the park mechanism puts +12V on both sides of the motor, so its got no earth. If the former is how a 928 works, its pretty safe to work on; the other way can lead to some blown fuses....
