Happens to my 1998. All I do is just lift it up a little bit, and move it around. I sprayed some silicone lube on her a couple weeks ago, and haven't had an issue.

I used INVISILUBE, have probably about 50 cases at work!

You can use any silicone based lube, but most parts stores may have it. But as far as I'm concerned, this is probably just a temporary type fix, I'm not sure what the real issue is.

Mind does the same and I have sprayed in the latch several times. It seems all I have to do is remember when I close the window is slap it a little hard. Not real hard but be sure to push it down firmly. If I just close it lightly the wiper will not work.
