Anyone know where I can buy a driver side windshield wiper arm? Did a Google search that resulted in a lot of dead ends. I noticed my wiper "re-positioned" itself this weekend. I assumed something came loose and the splines stripped out. Sure enough. The nut was not as tight as I would have thought it would be and the splines are indeed stripped out on the wiper arm.

I might try a junkyard but I'm afraid I won't be able to pull the wiper arm off the car since they might be "pressed" on due to the tapered spline design?

Thanks in advance for your help on where to find one of these (other than a dealer).

A quick search on ebay shows a couple from $20-$40.

You could also check out car-part.com to see if you can find a Vibe or Matrix (and probably other vehicles) in a junkyard near you.

I just put the arm back on as is and tightened it down nice and tight hoping maybe the splines on the shaft will embed into the soft wiper arm material enough to work. Time will tell if this works or not.
