Ford Ka Rear Windscreen Wiper Loose?

The rear windscreen wiper works OK, but doesn't stay in place.

Once I turn it on it moves from starting position to dangle downwards and the wiping action wipes the lower half of the rear door and not the window.

I can't position it manually as it just swings down under gravity again.

I believe the problem originated when the wiper was forced out of position by a monkey.

My daughter's Ka has the same problem caused by forcing the wiper loose when frozen. This broke the plastic which holds the wioer. It looks as though I will need a new fitting, the one with the nut throught it which fastenss the whole lot onto the motor spindle. Looks like an easy enough job
