Driver's side winshield wiper issue
When using the wipers, the driver's side wiper seems to lift off the windshield and miss a section of glass.
I took apart as much as I could to investigate and it seems that the motor is fine, but that a rubber bushing/stabilizer is worn out and that the post that extends through the hood is rotating and causing the lifting.
Does anyone have a diagram of the wiper assembly so I can track down this piece? Anyone seen this before? Think I need to replace the whole business?
Thanks...

Not an answer, but an associated problem:
I just bought a 2006 9-3, and the driver's side wiper goes past the windshield glass & makes a click noise (I'm assuming it's the wiper hitting the trim on the outside of the windshield). Is there a way to calibrate the wipers, or is there a stopper that is missing?
I'm a 9-3 Nu-B, so I apologize for my ignorance. Thanks for any help!
sorry - just saw that this was on the 9-5 threads.... all apologies!!!
