    So last week, temps dropped to the single digits. The wipers were frozen under a thin layer of ice on the windshield. Being lazy, I just flipped the wipers on in hopes of breaking the ice. At least it was just my pax side wiper that went limp.
    Now, a week later, rain and snow has stopped although clouds and cold temps remain. Finally had the chance to repair the linkage. Brand new linkages cost $125-$150. I like free better. Here is my solution:

    Works like new! Took only about an hour. Aside from locating the pin in my junk box, drilling out the ball joint probably took the longest.
