Be very careful if you tighten it-ask me how I know. I would check
Bently for the torque specs so you don't overtighten and snap off the
spline. At that point the dash has to come out. Major time or financial
committment.

Subject: Loose wiper arm

I know there was a very recent thread on how to fix a loose wiper arm,
but I
can't find it in the archives. Our passenger side wiper arm is really
starting to flop around and the splines are very worn. Can someone
please
forward "the fix" to me? I would prefer to not have to tear out the
entire
dash assembly nor have to hunt down a part that's no longer available.
(Wishful thinking?)

Thanks,
