    So during the tornado around here a week and a left ago, seems like the only thing that was damaged with the rear wiper arm somehow snapped in 1/2. No idea how, but it did. So, I was trying to find a replacement on Rockauto.com but all they have are the wipers themselves.

    1. Does anyone have a diagram and part # for the rear arm?
    2. How do you install it? You can barley move it away from the window but a few inches.

    Thanks all!

    To remove it, pull off that snap-on plastic bit that covers the nut at the bottom end of the arm.

    There is a black plastic cap by where the arm pivots. There is a nut under that cap. I think that if you unscrew the nut the whole arm can come off. It should be easy to get another.
