You can DIY using the free program "ForScan" and doing the wiper motor calibration. So you'll need a PC/ laptop, OBD2 ELM327 device modified with switch to suit Ford Medium Speed Bus (or buy OBDLink MX Bluetooth adapter which is a lot better) and download the free ForScan software.
You run the program in the wiper mode and physically move each wiper up to the desired maximum sweep when instructed to. The program will then memorise that position by storing it in the BCM.
You can check the park position against the marks on the windscreen. The wiper blades should sit in between them. To adjust that you need to unbolt the wipers, use a gear puller to remove them and then reposition them. If they're out (and concern you) do that before the calibration. You can leave them where they are and just do the calibration procedure.
