Wiper Arm post 850

The threads on the driver side wiper arm post arm worn preventing the positioning of the wiper blade on the glass to make total contact because the arm has to be tightened down causing the blade to lift off the glass when fully swept up.
Any remedies???
Thank you.

    I had the same problem. The only remedy I found was to buy a new wiper arm and another nut.

      I tried the first trick and yes, it doesn't last long. Looking at the pic you posted - just what exactly am I supposed to file down???
      Thanks!

        Hi Me,
        In the two circles of the picture you will see two ligther looking surfaces, if you look at you car, same place, it will look black like the surrounding blade arm metal. The light surfaces in the picture is were you need to file down the metal, it will be slightly raised on you car. This is the problem with this part. Originaly the two high surfaces keep the blade arm lifted off in the fully extend position. I recently used a eclectric drill and a burr bit ( little tree shaped looking piece)that is for removing metal, to file these surfaces down, and the blade stays in full contact on the glass all the way over.
