Does anyone know how to change the whole windshield wiper unit.

Well i was trying to change my broken passenger side windshield wiper arm. Then i took off the broken arm. Next thing I know the stud and the unit falls through the whole into the firewall. I noticed the pieces of white plastic that keeps it up is broken and thats the reason in fell through. So because it fell through my windshield wipers don't work anymore because i think they are disconnected from the motor.

Can anyone help me. I don't know how to get in that area where the wiper motor is.

take off the other wiper, and remove the large black grill/cowl. you need to remove a bunch of plastic clips and or screws. nothing tough.
