Wiper motor adjustment issues

My 2008 Corsa 1.3 D Breeze has had the wipers go out of alignment after freezing up - admittedly it was my fault as I thought they were not frozen. Basically, the drivers-side wiper hits the front screen pillar and comes to rest on the top of the bonnet. The car is still under warranty but my local Vauxhall dealer states it does not fall under the warranty terms as it has been changed by Vauxhall.

Remove them from the spindles and re-align them. But if the spindles are damaged you are in real trouble and the whole mechanism will need to be replaced.

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
