Theres a round plastic cap at the bottom of each wiper arm. Prise off cap and you will see a 10mm nut. Undo nut, reposition wipers and tighten nut. Replace cap and job done.

Undo nut, fold arm back, remove arm, sit there for 5 minutes with the edge of a razor blade picking the ally swarf from the splines on the wiper spindle so that whan you actually bolt it back down it bites into the arm again, or your p!ssing in the wind, it will just happen again.
You may have to use either a thicker washer or 2 washers below the nut to account for the wear in the wiper arm or the nut will bottom out before it tightens the arm onto the shaft.

Sounds technical, it isn't.
