Ok, so the other day my passenger side wiper arm under the cowl came off of the linkage. I can get it back on the linkage, but it falls back off. Is there supposed to be a retaining clip or grommet that goes on behind it to keep them on? I haven't had a chance to look at my brother's ranger, so any help would be appreciated. It's an 88.

sounds like the plastic ball cup is worn out and you need a new linkage for that side.

so are they just supposed to pop on requiring no clips? I still haven't been able to find a micro to look at either.

I finally found an installation thing. It is showing a clip




Edit: Clip must have popped off so it's missing. I'll scrounge one up at the junkyard tomorrow.

There is one on the linkage. My driverside has one as well as my brother's ranger. It's an E clip with a tab on it.

Man it's been a while since I've been on the new site. I about forgot about this place.
