Windshield Replacement

I just had my windshield replaced with OEM. I noticed this morning the driver side wiper does not go as far to the left as before. The wiper almost met the pillar, now there is a gap of 2-3 inches. Any idea what may have caused this and if there is a way to adjust? I did put the wipers straight up to maintenance position and without really trying I could pull the wiper almost tight to the pillar but it returned to original position on restart.

Was the wiper arm removed at all during the replacement process? If so, it might not have been indexed correctly to the shaft.

^ This. The shaft is finely knurled so the arm can be put back on in many positions. Sounds like they put it back in a different position. It is probably also in a different position at rest.

Thanks guys. I will visit the shop tomorrow. Not sure if he removed them or not - but I suspect so.

And Opie you are correct. I just looked and the at rest position is also off 2-3 inches.
