My passenger side wiper blade(and arm) got snagged and pulled beyond it's limits. Now it doesn't work. Could it just have unhinged from the assembly? Driver's side still works. Does anyone have a pic of the assembly or can describe how it all works?? And how do I access it?
Thx.

Probably just popped out of the linkage or broke the pin. Kind of a pain to see without pulling out the parcel tray.

I figured the tray might have to come out.  |

You can diagnose the problem without having to pull the parcel tray. Just get a flashlight and peer in there. Then stick your arm in and feel around for the rod that connects the motor to the pivot. It is pretty self explanatory how the whole system works once you start rooting around in there.
My bet is the linkage just popped off - if so, it's a thirty second fix.

Just an update, yeah the just popped off and I was able to connect it without removing the tray, easy fix.  Now I noticed my e brake isn't holding as well as it use to.  |

I thought you had a major brake overhaul on the agenda already...
Just make the cables part of that maintenance work.
Besides, it's a safety issue...Busses NEED to be able to stop...or there'll be even FEWER busses around to enjoy.
