Remove the black caps at the base of the wiper arms and check the nuts
for tightness. If they still come loose after tightening, the arms are
stripped out and they will have to be replaced.

Subject: Wipers Moving Independently

An odd problem came up in my '87 GL lately, and I've been unable to find
a solution in the archives.

  It seems the windshield wiper on the passenger side has developed a
mind of it's own.  When the wipers are turned on, the driver's side
wiper works as it should, while the passenger side wiper moves
spastically if at all, sometimes even crossing over into the path of the
driver's side wiper.  When this happens, it stops the motion of the
driver's side wiper, I have to pull over, and attempt to seperate the
wipers.  After just a few moments usually, the same thing crops up
again.

  Any ideas on how to deal with this problem?

  Thanks,
