1999 Infiniti i-30....hope I'm at the right place...I'm new here.
Yep....I put the wipers on with just enough snow and ice under them that when they wanted to wipe all the way back down the linkage arm popped off.
I took off the cowell and popped the 3/4" half moon / dome shaped milky white hard plastic coupling onto the "knuckle" (ball + socket hook-up on the passenger side wiper) BUT when I tested the wipers then went up and then I heard that same "pop" when they attempted to come back down....Obviously it popped back off.
I noticed that when I went to re-attach it, there was no "snap" feeling or sound ...it did not feel solid or tight ...merely "snug" ....is there a pin or a screw that keeps it in place or is it just cracked or worn? It seems like it wants to fit but not staying in place.....HELP?
Thanks, Tom

no pin or screw, only plastic holding onto metal ball joint. If the plastic is not broken, it should snap back on. If the plastic is broken, you need to replace but should be able to get just the arm you need rather than the entire linkage, at a junk or pullyard.
