Ugh, my wipers AGAIN.

Okay- my ongoing fing wiper problems- I keep rounding out the plastic piece/eccentric that goes from the main arm to the rest of the assembly. Anyone else have this problem and have a more permanent fix? It doesn't seem like it has that much effort that it would just round it out that fast, wondering if I just had a crappy new one? Also, I can't find where I ordered the last one, or what it is called LOL.

Is there a twist in the connecting rod that's putting pressure on the plastic bushing? when you replace the bushing you shouldn't need to apply any twisting action to get it to go on it should just snap in place. I usually get a package of them at O'Reilly's off the shelf. They should be available at the Dodge parts counter.

Something must be out of line OR binding to do that. Mine last years and we get 50" of rainfall a year plus frost, snow and freezing drizzle.
