The wiper linkages are joined together by ball joints, so the arms can move in harmony and not bind. One of the ball joints has popped out (the ball has popped out of its socket, I mean) and therefore one wiper blade stopped. As far as I know, these bits are only available from a Fiat dealer so I guess thats where you'll be tomorrow....
