I replaced the passenger side wiper a few weeks ago and they were working fine. Now I'm having an issue with them interfering. I went back to Auto Zone and the guy there said that he's seen that frequently with this model. He popped a cap off the base of the wiper arm and showed me a 15 mm nut in there. He said that if I loosen the nut I could adjust the wiper arm down the face of the windshield to eliminate the interference. He suggested that this means of securing the wiper arm to the bolt is not completely effective and the arm can rotate about the bolt to some extent. When I removed the nut I saw a washer around the bolt and the arm won't rotate around the bolt. The washer around the bolt won't come off. It appears that the washer may be painted onto the surface it's resting on. Any suggestions would be welcome.
