Wiper Arm Loose
Any suggestions on how to tighten my wiper arms attachment to the cowl spindles? Yesterday on a trip up to Portland (Oregon) it rained the whole 90 miles (at freeway speed) and the passenger side wiper arm popped off the spindle. Thankfully it didn't fall off the car and I was able to retrieve it. This was not the first time this has happened.

wrap the spline with aluminum foil. probably one layer will do the trick

Great idea. I will give it a try tomorrow. It's still raining
