My wipers move slightly up window while in off position. And, when i use actually they move a few inches in off position.

Any ideas.

Doesn't look like anyone has any useful thoughts... so I'll suggest maybe checking they are fastened securely? If you pop the cap off you can check the bolt to make sure they are tight.

When you turn the wipers off do they go down to the proper off location initially?

It sounds like the wipers don't "park" properly. According to this article, it might have something to do with the wiper motor:

What is the problem if your windshield wiper blades stay in the up position when the selector dial arm off the steering wheel is in the OFF position

Not exactly the OP's problem, but might be related. Good luck!

Thx guys...

The wipers do not appear to park and that article appears spot on. I will take it apart this weekend!
