I had to remove the rear wiper arm tonight and would not budge so I used the tool that removes wiper arms and crushes the nozzle. I have been searching for a replacement with no luck. First off are these replaceable and if so where can I obtain one?
Thanks
The rear wiper arm can be a completely stubborn bugbear to remove --- when I replaced mine I was extra careful and came up with a shim to insert for prying but to no avail because it slipped and buggered up the nozzle head anyway LOL at that point I went full barbarian and yanked that fugger off with brute violence haha then went to the junkyard to get a new motor because that seemed the easiest and cheapest solution, still working fine.
Perhaps I could have just bought a replacement nozzle by itself? I didn't think I could but now looking and they are out there:
Made of the finest Chinesium though so may leak or be unreliable?
Mine is a 2006, the pre-facelift cars have a different design with a different nozzle:

- Yet another classic OldBoy terminology worthy enough to submit that one to Miriam Webster
Sorry - I forgot to hit the "submit" ---- I'm still laughing....
The term is so funny because it is so true, but it is like totally tragicomic with a certain sense that the world has gone to hell-inna-handbasket as far as the quality of many goods goes, and requires extra effort to find something solidly made.
As much as I enjoy coming up with neologisms, can't claim that one, it's been in common parlance for a while now, think I maybe first saw it used at r/justrolledintotheshop...
