  just did this. try tightening down the wiper arms. if they're already
tight, don't try tightening any more unless you have a spare linkage
laying around. you'll probably need to get a ?pair? of new wiper arms.
these can be found for about $15 from people on the list. else you could
try something like lock-tite or permagask, though don't expect to get
your wiper arms off again (use at your own risk).
