850 wiper arm fix: what is the permanent solution? 850

I posted a few months back about the seemingly common 850 left side wiper that lifts off the window as it reaches the apex of its stoke. A few interesting solutions were offered, but no one indicated what causes the problem. I wound up using Bay 13's remedy of putting some weight onto the arm and pressing it towards the glass while bolted in place. That worked OK for a while, but now the problem is back.

So why does this problem happen? Could it be the spindle is out of alignment, perhaps due to a mounting bracket or linkage coming loose? I'm tempted to tear into the cowling and see what's going on in there, but thought I'd get some 2nd opinions first.

TIA
