Retarded windshield wipers

[StangerBanger96]

Anyone know what would cause windshield wipers to "stutter" before they go all the way back down? The wipers on my girlfriends car, when you shut them off, go down then up/down/up (a few inches) then go all the way down. Any ideas what would cause this?

I believe they also don't go all the way up either...not quite sure.

Its a Grand Prix i believe?

I thought GM cars had an issue with the part return or something like that.

pop the cap off on the bottom of the wiper arm when they are off (and it parked position) and place the wiper where they are supposed to be and tighten the nut (13 mm i believe)
