Windshield wiper arm spring and clip

Recently while I was trying to clear some ice from my windshield wipers, the spring and clip on the driver's side wiper arm snapped loose, possibly because of ice getting somewhere it shouldn't have. I stupidly tried to reinstall these with the wiper arm still installed on the car. Both the spring and clip went yeeting off into the snow and didn't even leave divots where they landed.

I'm still out of work, hurting for cash, would prefer not to spend $65+shipping on a new wiper arm. Does anyone know where I can buy just the spring and clip?

Passenger-side wiper pictured for reference. Tried to temporarily replace the missing spring with the shortest bungee cords I could find but they just don't have enough tension to keep the wiper fully on the windshield, especially at speed.
