    Just curious if anyone has had an issue with the rear hatch window wiper arm breaking off.
    I think it was due to ice getting in the spring. It's been very cold. I found the wiper arm on the ground while the base and the spring were still on the window. It looked impossible to break. How hard is this to replace? Is the part hard to get for a 2007?

    Thanks for any info.

    Actually I managed to fix this. I think someone ripped it off. It actually snapped back after attaching the spring. The cover was cracked however. Thanks for the response about where to get parts. Good to know.
