OK, I was right. With the vent box out, it shouldn't be too much of a
problem. Just follow the instruction I gave above.
Probably what has happened is that someone has pulled the vent box out to
replace the wiper motor. They got the arm back on in the wrong place. The
motor was not parked when they put it back together. And they never put the
vent box back in.
