NOTE:
Every second time it is switched off, the wiper motor runs to an under-
stroke parked position, that ensures that the lip of the wiper blade is
flipped to the other direction.
To do this, wiper motor runs down over end position and then back up a
bit. This under-stroke parked position must not be used for aligning the
wiper crank.
You must use the position where the wiper motor runs directly to end
position without under-stroke. Activate mist wipe again, if necessary.
Switch ignition off.
