This allows me to calibrate their stop position. I don't know what torque you're supposed to use on it, but it takes quite a bit to keep it from loosening again. Usually, it is when the wipers are parked and snow accumulates on them and on the windshield and you turn them on that it comes loose, because the drive post is moving counter-clockwise and basically unscrews itself. I always make sure the window is clear and the wipers aren't frozen down before I turn them on.
