done that lots and lots, it is actually worn away within the wiper arm hole.
tightening solves it temporarily, maybe nutlock would solve this?

apply some JB weld on the splines before fitting and tighten the nut,that should work .

ask JB for details Laughing

most of them have the splines worn away I have found, people trying to fanny aroudn and get them to sit right, splines are worn away on the arm. I just make sure they are tight.

Then again if I tighten things I can neve rusually get them undone again! lol

Did that last time lasted about 9months don't want the situation i had the other day when it pissed it down and i only had one wiper working, luckily i had some tools on me and i pulled over and fixed it but got soaked, just things i could do without and a decent wiper arm would solve it.
