[T3] parking the wipers


Jim's right- it's just a back-and forth motion generated by a crank
arm.  The motor can turn either way, as long as it parks in the right
position.
And from experience,
	it's best to park them with a fully charged battery and the engine
running to ensure that the gearbox parks in the exact spot it will when
you're driving.  Then set the crank arm on the motor shaft.  It doesn't
make a BIG difference, but I HATE having the wipers up away from the
bottom of the window...
	However, if the ARMS are for the wrong side, they could have the wrong
bend in 'em- you can't flip 'em upside-down!  
Fussy, fussy, fussy,
