I just noticed the my whipers do not park completely, is there a way to make them go all the way down where they suppose to.

Should be a nut at the end of the wiper arm.
Try loosening that and adjust the arm to where you want it, then tighten it back up.
Turn wipers on and see if they are working and parking properly now.
That's how I did it on my other cars, but have not messed with the Passat wiper arms yet.
Let me know if that works for ya, and sorry if it don't.

when you loosen it (the nut) make sure you take the wiper all the way off cause the arm sits on a groved bolt if you just try and turn it your gonna strip all of the grooves. Take the arm all the way off the relocate it to where you want it to be.

Thank you for clarifying that. Slipped my mind.
