The nylon socket on one of the linkages that goes from the wiper motor
to the drivers side wiper arm post has worn out and popped off the ball
on the wiper arm bracket. Depending on which dealer I call, I'm quoted
$60 to $70 for a replacement!!! Can anone point me at an alternative
source for this part at a lesser price. The last one of these linkages
I replaced was on a Nissan, and it cost about $15, which is more in
line with what a length of formed metal arm with two cheap nylon socket
assemblies on it ought to cost (IMHO).

Dunno if it's quite what you are looking for, but if ya surf it a bit,
you may find what you need.
Just enter more specific info than I did, I just guessed whether the
TSI or other model.
At least the price seems better.

Go to NAPA and they probably have the nylon sockets in their Dorman
catalog.
