adjust wipers??
it's raining in northern cali and my drivers side wipers are now going a little too far left that they are going off the windshield.
is there a way to adjust the point to return to rest? a screw maybe??
it could just be bent but maybe not.

usually you just have to lift the entire arm off the rotating post (that is the tricky part) and replace it one or two groves/notches back counterclock wise.
If the arm was never removed before, it doesn't make sense that it would be off, unless like you say, it got bent or pushed to far. You can try holding the arm at the base and put pressure on the outer end to "bend" it back a little. Keep in mind, a 1/8 inch at the base becomes 2-3 inches at the outer end.
Before you do that, have you replaced a blade? If so you might measure the blade. The wrong size blade may have been put on. Those things happen. I don't know the actual size needed for your car, The '02 is 22" driver's and 18" passenger's. I have seen packages mismarked or repackaged (23" blade was in a box labelled 22").
