Driver's wiper sticks and is noisy

My driver's side windshield wiper sticks on the left side and kind of goes past window frame edge. I actually have to stick my hand outside while driving to get it unstuck. It gets stuck easiest at slower speeds. Any suggestions?

Remove the cover, the cotter pin and nut on the end of the arm . Then remove the arm and reset it untill it does not go over the edge when fully extended. This might take a few times to get it right. Tip: if you have trouble removing the arm, straighten out the arm by holding down the center while lifting it out. Good luck.

Thank you. I guess I messed it up when I repainted the wiper arms during the summer.

I don't remember a cotter pin on the svx arm. I wonder if that has anything to do with why mine pop out a few degrees. Must take a closer look.

You are correct, no cotter pin. That was my Dodge.
