My 1997 Mark VIII wiper arms have a plastic key in the arm that mates with the key in the wiper toothed mount. The key has a tendency to fall out when removing the wiper arm. I think this happens if the car is detailed by someone not familiar with the Mark VIII wipers. The key is need to index the arm to the drive to index the wiper properly for the wiper park function when turned off. Parking the wiper is done by moving the wiper arms slightly down into a recessed position. I like your approach with one change. I would use two set screws 120 degrees apart and spaced 120 degrees from to the axis of the arm.
I watched this video because my 97 wasn't making full contact. I wasn't fond of drilling a hole and not being able to tighten it. So I cut a soda can down and made a shim. Slide back on and works perfectly. Also if anybody has any problem finding a brake light switch for a 97-98 almost any ford switch from those years will work on the car as well. Mine has a 97 f150 switch
Just changed mine! Your video saved me from a melt down lol thank you

The problem is that you have the wrong blade
