Default Broke something...

Hello all. In trying to pry off my driver's side wiper arm, something under the plastic cowling broke. I moved the rubber bit on the arm out of the way, and it appears I snapped a silver-colored bracket or mount, not sure what it is. I can try to get pics tomorrow if this helps.

pics would be extremely helpful, like they say pictures are worth 1000 words. Hopefully it's not too important of a piece

sounds like you may have broken a piece off the wiper transmission. the only way to know is too take the cowl off and take a look. and be sure too take a pic and post it that would help to id the broken part

Upon further investigation, I found a sticker with a part number on it. It is indeed part of the wiper transmission. That'll teach me to dig a little deeper before posting a thread. \
