its 14nm.
which is about finger tight , then about 3/4 of a turn with a socket or spanner.

remember to pull the wiper UP as you tighten the 14mm nut , to make sure the wiper arm is secure and flat.

you will know straight away if they are too loose - drop the bonnet and give the wipers a go.
If they are loose they will wipe one way then partially catch and end up slightly up the windshield.correct with loosening then properly tightening :)
