That's what junkyards are for. I found a linkage for my old Excel for
five bucks.

The wipers on my 95 Elantra quit IT was a linkage problem the actuall
repair time was probably 1/2 hour. The linkage uses plastic bushings THEY
break & the linkage falls off You have to buy the complete arm not just
the bushing
So instead of spending $3 like i used to do on my Dodge van you have to
spend around $80. Coulod also be a loose bolt as sugested but you won't
know until you take it apart

I have an '02 Elantra that my son takes to college. Just before he left
today (college is 262 miles away) he reported his passenger-side wiper is
not working (driver's works fine).

Indeed, I was able to move it freely back and forth - something I should not
be able to do (and something the driver's does not do).

He was in a hurry to leave, but will be back home in a few days (Fall
break). The assembly does not look that easy to access, and have no idea
what I will find.

Ideas??
