What is your question?
The wipers quit working. Repair shop said it came unbolted from the wiper arms. After they tightened them, the wipers would not seat in the off position. The wipers would stay on the windshield about 5 inches above the seated position. When turned on the wipers will drop down to the seated position, then sweep across the windshield and return to the "5 inch" position. The repair shop says the wiper motor is bad and needs to be replaced. It seems to be just out of sequence because it was detached from the arms. Should the initial diagnostic charge be put towards the labor of replacing/ repair

Less than a couple of hours I would say. Sounds like they didn't get the motor back in the right location if the wipers are not touching the windshield.
The wipers are touching/ sweeping the windshield, but are not in the right position. Would that have to do with the motor itself being bad after Running disconnected, or that the mechanic didn't adjust the linkage correctly to the motor when he reassembled it together.
Could just be the wiper arms were not attached at the correct position and the motor is operating fine.
I couldn't open the video. But if this is the instructional video of the mechanic replacing it, then I already viewed it. The video I viewed was a different year though, so it may not be the same. I took the car to the dealer because I was booked for the weekend and couldn't repair it myself. Someone mentioned .9 hours of labor.
