I had the wiper droop from a carwash.
The rear wiper was below the glass and I could move it freely with my hand.
If I put it where it should be it gravity would just drop it down 30 degrees or so.
The fix was to remove that black cap and then put a socket on the bolt. I put the wiper where I thought it should go and gave it a 1/8 turn.
Seemed to fix it. I don't think there are any splines holding it. It seems to be just a friction fit. Which I guess is good, it will give way if something torques on it.
I could grab it now and still move it to a new position. I think the large nut probably loosens over time.
No need to tear the car apart to fix.
