Pull off the wiper arms and reposition them farther down on the windshield.

I believe you have to "zero" out the new motor, but I could be wrong. I think there is a pot on the motor that you turn to align it to the "home" position

Remove the wiper arms, turn the wiper motor on then off (to make sure it is parked) install the arms in the correct parked position.

Do not unplug the motor. You do not have to touch the motor. Follow the directions above.
