There is a recall for that.

Make sure the wipers are laying above the glass mound on the headlight. If not, swing it open and loosen the nut. When adjusted, tighten the nut. Work the wipers with the headlights on and then turn them off. See where the wipers end. They should be above the protruding tit. If not, loosen and realign.

 

Ditto Paddlemarv above....worked on mine. I left the nust to the wiper arm loose and ran the washer thru the cycle with the lights on and then turned them off and aligned the wiper blade above the tit and tightend nut.
