    Wiper arm slips

    When I turn on my wipers, the passenger side one works fine until I get moving, then it starts going too low on the left side of the arc and eventually beats itself to death on the bottom of the windscreen. At that point the wiper blade gets knocked loose, and I have to pull over, retrieve the blade from the hood and drive the rest of the way without wipers.

    I've tried loosening and resetting the set screw multiple times. I've tightened it pretty tight and am afraid trying harder will do some damage. Any suggestions?
