Wiper travel is non-adjustable on Subarus-- but wiper position is indeed adjustable. Flip up the cover (or pry out the rubber insert) to gain access to the wiper arm bolt. This holds the wiper arm to the pivot shaft. The wiper arm and the pivot shaft have tiny grooves in them-- once in the groove and the bolt tightened, the arm is locked to the shaft. Recheck bolt tightness after a day or so of wiper operation in case it works loose-- if still tight, it will stay that way for years unless heavy snow mashes the arm down. Then you have to loosen the bolt, reposition the wiper arm, and tighten the bolt again.
Make sure that the nuts holding the wiper arms are sufficiently tight to ensure that they move when the shaft turns thus moving the wiper arm.
