Rear wiper arm fell off....

Plastic arm is asking for problems. It was the original one, right?

Slow down. It won’t get so scared and jump off.

I don't know. It was there when I bought the truck.

Easy peesy. Remove the rusty nut, remove the portion that's still attached to the splines, and replace the entire assembly. Found a replacement for under $10;

Not all rear wiper changeouts are easy peasy. A number of folks here, including myself, had a hell of a time getting the wiper arm base off the splines. I had to use a pully puller to get mine off the splines. Before mounting the new wiper blade arm, put some grease on the splines, so that if needed, you can easily remove the wiper the next time (hopefully never).

I purchased a rear wiper arm (perhaps Dorman) from Rock Auto, and 3 years later, it is still operating fine.

The Dorman one is all metal but the black finish will give up the ghost eventually, especially on salt roads.

Corrosion can make that a real pain I agree, but if this wiper arm is in fact totally plastic from the factory, I don't think it'll be corroded.

That is very strange and not common with them. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I order a lot of stuff from them. This is the first time I saw something that off the wall in pricing on that site.

Those battery cable end pullers work real well for pulling wiper arms off of wiper transmissions.
