Well tonight i've been a pleb

the drivers wiper had stuck to the screen, motor moved, so the wiper needed straightening

so off with the bolt, straightened it up, then promptly snapped off the securing bolt for the nut


do i need to replace the whole mechanism, or as itsthe drivers side, can i just replace the one side?

Thanks once again, and yes i feel a right numpty

Dont think so as long as its like for like, you will no doubt have to grind the rivits of and replace with 2ba nuts/bolts or equiv but not a problem
