I did a repair to a wheel box many years ago, and it is pretty distant
memory, but my recollection is that I didn't shim the knurled wheel (I have
no idea how that could be done) I shimmed the box so the cable was held
closer to the wheel. Material was in all likelihood an aluminum can cut to
fit.   As I recall the fix worked well enough to keep the wipers from
slipping the until the rest of the car oxidized beyond the point of safe or
practical use--i.e. a winter or two.

Alternatively, you may be able to bend the retaining plate so that it holds
the cable a little tighter.

worst case you should not have to shim all the way around.... quick and 
dirty sacrifice.... local auto parts store ... buy a set of blade feeler 
gauges. The thinner gauges should make perfectly selectable shim stock 
to jam the blades in place. They should be thin enough to cut with a 
pair of scissors

What about a squirt of caulk? It should hold the wiper blade on until you g=
et home, and be easier to clean off than other products.

All,
In addition to the wiper arm slipping I found that the little tang on the in=
side of the arm that is supposed to clip underneath the knurled wheel of the=
 wiper box is too high to actually clip under the wheel. I hope I am explain=
ing this accurately..=20
After further investigation I found that if I turn in the wipers and hold th=
e driver side wiper box, I can feel the knurled wheel skip. So I removed the=
 driver side wheel box and the gear that is driven by the cable is definitel=
y worn. I would prefer to find a decent original vs. installing a new one bu=
t I may have no choice as I scrounge through my spare parts bin.
T- minus a day and a half till we leave for Watkins Glen!=20
No pressure!!

Hi Dave,
I tried using RainEx on the way back from the Kas Kastner race at Pitt Racew=
ay and it wasn=E2=80=99t fun. I was discussing this with a good friend of mi=
ne this morning and he suggested that the reason we don=E2=80=99t hear about=
 more of this is that most classic car owners don=E2=80=99t drive in the rai=
n on purpose.
I have the bad wheel box out and will have my new one tomorrow morning.=20
