On my last trip I hit rain for many hours, I saw the wiper was going off the window and down a little to much. I pulled over at the nearest exit. I knew about the nut holding it could come loose, had forgot to check it.. anyway, the large nut that holds the motor to the frame was loose. I took a large cresent wrench and tighten it up, as well as the small one, which was a little loose also. Solved the problems. I suggest everyone check the big and small nut before your next trip!!! I did my fix in a downpour, when I go back on my next trip I will locktite them.. The big nut I refer to is just below the wiper arm, mine partly covered by rubber. When loose I could position it a little, it is not in a tight hole..so this may fix the poster's problem also..

I had read somewhere on this forum that the fix is to remove the arm from the drive bolt and reinstall it 1 notch counterclockwise from the original position. After removing the nut from the wiper drive bolt I expected to see a splined drive bolt.
Instead there is a special bolt that has been cut flat on two sides and is threaded on the radius sides. The wiper arm will not slide off of the drive bolt, so I am needing to find out how to remove the arm from the bolt so that I can reposition it more counterclockwise on the drive bolt.
Does anyone know how to get wiper arm off the drive bolt?
Thanks
