SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Windshield wiper arm attachment to the pivot shaft may strip and loosen due to insufficient torque or excessive loading on wiper arm.
Loose wiper arms which have not been otherwise damaged may be reused by removing and reinstalling, using the following procedure. This will allow
the arm to re-establish a tight fit on the pivot shaft splines.
If the wiper arm is cracked or damaged, a new arm must be installed following this same procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Lift the wiper arm and place a 1/8" (3.5 mm) pin (Allen wrench, nail, etc.) into the arm pin hole (see Figure 1).
