I recently acquired a pair of replacement wiper arms with the airfoil on them to replace the ones I have with no airfoil. When readying to install them, I discovered there is no knurling on the inside of the new wiper arms where the knurled wiper shaft goes through, as there is in the ones I took off. In the replacements, it appears they have corroded away, been worn off by abuse(nut not tight) or simply were never there. In any case, without the knurling, it would appear that slipping would be an ongoing problem. Anyone have any ideas as to how to address this issue?
