Hi there,

This is a simple adjustment, undo the nut that holds the wiper blade at the base, lift the arm up and gently wiggle and the arm will come away, it is on a tapered spline, with both arms off, (don't mix them up) turn wiper switch on and off so the pivots self park, re fit the arms so they are aligned correctly, tighten nuts, if in doubt your mechanic can do this very quickly.
