Wipers not working. Bolt underneath loosens each time I tighten it

The wipers stopped. Wiper motor is still turning and the central bolt underneath is loose so it can be moved with a finger. Tightening it didn't change a thing, it just loosens again.

I've recently replaced the wiper linkage, and I'm assuming the spines behind which the nut holds it against are worn.

Any tips to fix that? I was thinking of just trying a squeeze of Araldite onto the spines after cleaning them

New wiper arms will fix it. Another option is to get a piece of thin aluminum wire, and put it on the spines. This will take up the slack.
