Angry Windshield Wipers are going CRAZY!

My windshield wipers seem to be acting funny. The wipers slam against the plastic piece right below the windshield when the car is at the stop and when going about 55mph +, they start to hit the side of the pillars. If you get out and grab the wipers, the wipers can move easily about 5 inches each way.

Does something need to be tightened or is it my motors? Any ideas will help. Thanks.

I would check the nuts that mount the entire arm. I have had them come loose on Japanese cars I have owned in the past. Easy fix.

Don't overtighten.
