wipers out of sync

At first the left one didn't go all the way across to the left, though the right one did. I adjusted the left one to match the right, but now it moves much more slowly than the right one, and they...

Thanks, Lil Bastard. Is the procedure you've suggested still a possible fix if, after the CEL occurred, they cleared the code and it re-occurred? I gather if the procedure were to fix the problem...
