Had the same problem recently. Not wanting to lose the car for a day I decided to look at it myself. It turned out to be a loose nut holding the wiper arm to the shaft.
Prised the plastic cover off the base of the arm and tightened the nut. All better now.

same with me - loose bolt. Have you had your windscreen changed recently ? as that is what happened to me and the nut came loose very quickly after refitting. Was on the M1 doing 70 and it came right off the side of the window in torrential rain. Scared the crap out of me. 2016 MY16.5 HSE, 21" Rims, Waitamo Grey, Cirrus Leather, Extended Leather, Meridian sound
