We've had this happen to us.  The wipers are attached with an ordinary hex
nut.  If this becomes just a little loose the wipers will wander a bit when
stopped.  Adjust the wiper where it should be and tighten using a basic
socket set.  Sorry about the simplistic response.  You didn't mention
checking this, so I figured I'd throw it out.

My '87 Westy just started having a case of randomly parking windshield
wipers.  On Intermittant they work fine, but low or high speed, when you
switch the lever to off, they just stop wherever they are.

I can still switch to intermittant, and then turn them off from the parked
position, but it is a pain.

The archives say it's either the relay or the motor.   I have tried the
relay from Matthew's Westy which works fine for him, but doesn't fix my
problem.   There was some discussion about fixing a connection on the
motor,
but I couldn't find a description of how to do that.

Any suggestions?

Is the motor another one of those 'Remove the Dashboard' jobs?

Thanks!
