Hello 945,

I Have had good permanent results for this problem by useing the dremmel tool on the wiper arm support bracket fix. As stated in one of the replies, the problem seems to be the wiper arm stop on the support arm.
Position the wiper in the locked up position, as you would if you were to wash the windshield. Look and see were the upper arm that is now locked up touches the lower piece ( there are 2 sides) when it would be in the normal down position.

Use a dremmel tool or a regular drill with a burr, and grind down these lower peice about an 1/8th of an inch. You can do this with the wiper stopped in the position were it would lift off of the window and keep checking by lowering the wiper to the window to see if you have ground off enough.
Try to grind both side equal. For some people, this is very tedious work, be patient and careful not to slip with the tool and grind the window or paint!
