you dont have to mess with the rods underneath,at the base of the wiper arm itself there is a single nut which probably has a press on cover over it,take the nut off then pull the wiper arm off the spline and readjust where you like,same on the back

the wiper arms may be stuck on there really tight. Don't be afraid to use lots of force and wiggling to get them off.

its a 14mm spanner you will need, just put some pressure on the bottom of the wiper arm with your thumb, so when its undone it keeps the pressure even on the spline, then lift with the other hand, this will stop you trying to lever it off and break things
