Wiper arm linkage

My car just got stolen and it came back with one wiper not working. Turns out, the teeth where the wiper arm connects to the base has been worn out due to a loose nut. How hard is it to fix this? It looks like I have to open the dash? If it takes that much work, I'll just donate the car or junk it

Superglue!

A temporary fix would be just to superglue the linkage to the teeth.

I've done this and it has worked perfectly for 2 years+

Hey, nuron, I just noticed you're in Seattle. What a coincidence! So you understand the importance of working wipers here! From the weather forcast, seems like we are going to need them every other day for a week!
