Man, Im not having good luck with Mr. Monte this winter

Long story short; there was snow and ice on my windshield which didn't allow the blades to properly go into their proper resting position and now when I turn them off they stop nearly straight up

My thinking is that they "hopped" some gear teeth in the windshield wiper assembly/motor.

Any thoughts or insights???

Mine did the same thing yesterday. I just turned them on, and let them go down in a hiatus position (which was higher than they should have been). I popped the hood and cleaned out all the snow, ended up placing them down as far as I could while the car was off, gave the car power, and turned them to the off position and they came down. For some reason they were stuck up too the first couple times, even when the snow was there. I don't know how exactly, but after messing with it for 30 minutes I got them to set right. Yours might not be so easy because they're, correct me if I'm wrong, going into the set position, straight up.
