Bring it in to have it looked at because there is a recall on the wiper lock nut. Or you could just tighten it yourself if that's the issue.

You can pop the cover off from the base of the wipers using your fingers. I believe you'll need a 12mm wrench to tighten the bolt.

There is a recall out regarding the wiper arm as it's not tightened down as it should be. I had the problem arise before the official recall came out, you can realign and tighten it down with a 14mm driver.
