What did you finally do? Epoxy?

Ha, no. I might want to get it off later. I had a package of those
white twist ties. I cut about an inch off a string of them (six or
seven). Then put those over the stump on the good thread and pressed
the old wiper arm back on. Went on nice and tight. I've used the
wipers twice now in two down-pours. (Fingers crossed).

Could last a long time.

I just had a failure of the windshield washers in my Dodge full size van.
Those nozzles
are on the wiper arms, and never worked worth a damn.

I trudged down to the Chrysler dealership thinking that I could buy one of
the nozzles
for a couple of bucks, BUT....turns out these are not accessed in the
catalog, and you
have to buy new arms complete with the little plastic shitteauxs for $50 per
side.

I bought a universal kit ($15) at Autozone and mounted the nozzles through
the hood. Works
better than the originals, and I am freed from the stranglehold of the
manufacturer and the
dealership.

Necessity is the very essence of invention.

Hey, good for you. There is a satisfaction from getting it done right.
I think I used one of their kits when I replace the washer motor.
Still working good two years later.
