Does anyone know how to adjust the positioning? My passenger side wiper is way too low and it seems like the driver is high. I am comparing to my dads silverado.

.. you definately want to be off the plastic cowl.. remove the trim cover (3) from the end of the wiper arm (1) and remove the nut (2) holding it into the post.. you need to pull your arm off the post (you'll need a puller) and rotate it to where it's inline with the driver side and bolt it back on.

You really don't need a puller. What I did to remove my arms was to pull up the plastic cover at the very bottom of the arms and then use a ratchet and socket to unbolt the nut that secures the arm to the stud. The nut is on with threadlocker so it will be hard to get loose the first time around. Once it's off you will then need to take your hand and push on the arm right where the wiper arm has the hinge that allows you to put the blades off of the window. That will loosen it from the mounting tab. Once it's loose you can take the arm and adjust it as needed. You will need to adjust it a little at a time, probably 1-2 spots on the arm. You will find that there are teeth marks on the inside of the wiper arm so you can't do any fine tuning but you will be able to get it right.
