bosch wiper blade question (i broke something) Exterior and body mods. Lip kits, custom bumpers, different grilles, Inspire conversions... the list goes on!

so i ordered bosch CA (clear advantage) blades a few weeks ago off of amazon.. managed to put on the driver side blade without a problem, but sadly i snapped off a piece of the connector on the passenger side blade.. literally just the connector is jacked up now. i tried calling bosch customer service and they gave me the run around, so i just bought a rain-x latitude blade for the passenger side.

but i'm wondering if there's any way i can get another connector/piece thing from somewhere. i'm pretty sure i just need another... entire thing (second pic).
the installation instructions that came with the blade seem to be for a different type of connector arm.. not that that makes a difference though, just something i thought was strange.

this is the piece that snapped off.

this is the assembly that it snapped off of...

proof that the blade connector is intact...

and these are the directions they gave me lol, just thought it was strange that they gave me this particular set since not every car has this type of connector arm.

i dont think you can get those anywhere. I swtiched to rain x blades and this happened to me too. Never should have switched from OEM. I went back and love them. Best part is that i can buy the refills for like 5 bucks and they are brand new again...

word. someone told me (on DA) that I don't even need that small piece that broke off. I'll see how that works out... probably not. lol. I'll harass the warranty department again for Bosch within the next week, so I can be sure that they send me the replacement blade they said they would the first time lol.

main thing I was going for when I was shopping for new blades was a pair of beam blades... didn't know which to get so I decided to give Bosch CA a shot.. and ended up giving Bosch CA and Rain-X Latitude a shot at the same time. lol... didn't have any problem putting the Rain-X blade on, either. interesting.

i found the latitudes to be noisy and they like skipped over the glass rather than smoothly cleaning it...

the latitude blade I have I'd say works better than the Bosch blade :/ lol

UPDATE!

look at what came in the mail yesterday! i guess they didn't get to my claim until the 15th. and no, i didn't harass them like i wanted to lol... i think i'm gonna keep the CA and rain-x blades on for a while though. glad to know that i have these Evos ready to go when i wanna change!
