The metal arm is too soft and flexes too much. A re-design, or a theft from a S/V70 might work. Remember, it is not the wiper arm but the metal plate that the wiper attaches to that is the weak point.
I bent the metal plate on my 850 last year and it still makes contact today. At least I think so, my daughter hasn't complained yet!
