Is there a way to fix the uneven wiper blades that don't bottom out together on the frame when switched off? It feels like one blade has some play in it when you swivel it back and forth on it's axis?
 
If the splines are stripped, a shim of some kind can tighten up the fit. I had an old Blazer with a loose stripped wiper arm. A layer of masking tape held tight for several years before the vehicle was scrapped.

Years ago I used a spine replacement kit for an old Ford and it worked well. I think I got it at NAPA. They can probably also be found on line.
