Hmm, I wonder if it's because of it's age and the part is just worn out and can no longer hold onto the wiper arm? I see by your profile you live in Michigan. Winters are also hard on these parts and they get affected by clearing snow off the car, the freezing temps in the winter and hot summers, plus the sun's UV rays deteriorate the plastic. If you got over 10 years with the current ones, then perhaps finding new ones should get you through another 10+ years. Like I said earlier, try the dealer,( if they still have them, they should still be fairly inexpensive.) These were a fairly common item used on other models, so I'm sure there are some out there somewhere. Perhaps another member knows of a source or even aftermarket.
I had a friend who had a early '90s Grand Prix, and he fashioned a homemade set of nozzles for his vehicle after experiencing similar issues. He also converted some older GMs that used the metal nozzles fixed on the cowl to wiper mounted units with success. I'll try to get ahold of him to see if he knows of any sources for these nozzles new or a suitable substitute.
