Broken Wipers

I turned on my winshield wipers whiles there was ice on it and something broke in it.
How much would it cost to get it repaired and where can i go besides the dealer?

Only dealer sells the white plastic joints. Intel price, 10.000$ per pound. Luckily they are light... By four of 'em and open your system, pop linkages out and slip in the new joints, pop in.

I don't believe you can buy the plastic joints separately and you just have to buy the long metal bar with the joints on them already.

A bit of a PITA to do because of access (small hands help), but doable.
